In the context of construction, asset refurbishments – the restoration, upgrading, and improvement of assets – usually refer to existing properties requiring internal or external renovation work. Asset refurbishment is particularly commonplace in the retail sector with upgrades of retail units and premises.

Asset refurbishments can be planned as part of a scheduled upgrade to improve a property’s condition or functionality or unplanned if caused by unforeseen circumstances.

Whether they are proactive measures or reactive requirements, asset refurbishments often take place in a working environment such as retail premises and, therefore, require an agile and adaptive approach.

Evolution5’s small works contracting service delivers high-quality planned and unplanned asset refurbishments in an experienced, considered, and efficient way to minimise disruption to the business and its customers.

Planned asset refurbishments

Planned asset refurbishments are planned and scheduled works to upgrade or improve assets within a programmed timeframe.

Reasons for planned asset refurbishments may include general maintenance, modernisation of a space (particularly in a customer-facing retail environment), enhancing the performance or appearance of a space, improving functionality, extending the lifespan of a property, or adapting the asset to meet changing requirements or standards.

In the context of retail, planned asset refurbishments may include changing layout and design according to changing branding or customer experience, new visual merchandising strategies, exterior and interior design, incorporation of new technology such as interactive displays, or compliance with new regulations such as accessibility or sustainability.

Unplanned asset refurbishments

Unplanned asset refurbishments are unexpected works required to upgrade or improve assets due to unforeseen circumstances.

Unplanned asset refurbishments are triggered due to unanticipated factors such as issues arising from building deterioration, equipment failure, or external factors such as extreme weather.

Unplanned asset refurbishments usually require immediate attention to minimise the risk to the property and people as well as the impact on operations.
