Guidelines for Change of Use Refurbishment

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides guidance for professionals on the potential for and management of building refurbishment for change of use. Change of use refurbishment activity is becoming increasingly important as changing work patterns and IT reduce the space demands for offices and industrial buildings in cities where social and environmental concerns give significant demand for urban housing. The key issues and opportunities of adaptive reuse must be better understood by investors, marketers, potential users, regulators and the construction industry generally, as the era dominated by the development of new commercial buildings comes to an end in the West.
