EXPERIENCE:

REDEVELOPMENT

When re-developing a building the entire building is stripped out in its entirety and re-

developed. The changes generally range from complete internal conversions from office space

to residential units through to external façade changes. In most cases all electrical works and

wet services are completely removed and new layouts are designed and implemented.

RETROFITMENT

Retro fitment is defined as the removal of outdated services from existing buildings and the

refitting of modernized, more efficient services. Retro fitment projects consist of the renewal of

electrical services (main distribution boards, cabling and fixtures and fittings), plumbing services

(wet service pumps, storage tanks, supply and waste pipe-work, and plumbing fixtures and

fittings), fire reticulation systems, lifts, low/zero carbon technologies, security systems and

access control systems.

Retrofitment projects are generally carried out in order to minimize maintenance and running

costs,reduce carbon footprints, upgrade existing buildings to meet current legislative

requirements, increase security, and increase the value of depreciated property.

CONSULTANCY SERVICES:

HOME BUYERS REPORTS / BUILDING AUDITS / DUE DILIGENCE REPORTS

Due to the nature of Pieter’s combined relative experience in the trade, building owners or

clients who wish to acquire a property/building can have the building audited and obtain a full

detailed report on the status of all services, fixtures, fittings, finishes and the super structure

including concrete slabs, pillars, brickwork, soffits, ceilings, flooring etc. Building audit reports

include a budget proposal to repair or replace any damaged areas and items noted.

CONSULTANCY SERVICES:

PLANNED MAINTENANCE:

Planned Maintenance can best be described as a planned scheme of works that need to be

carried out to a building over time so as to spread out the costs of the maintenance and to

ensure the building is kept safe and in good working order over its life span. Regular minor

maintenance avoids large unexpected expenses.

Before any planning or programming of maintenance can commence it is essential that a

thorough, systematic inspection is carried out so as to determine the actual condition of the

building and of specific components. This allows the prioritization of repairs and also aids in

establishing suitable cyclical maintenance timescales.

The Project Bureau has extensive experience in the inspection of various types of buildings and

is able to provide clients with long term maintenance schedules that are prioritised and costed

in order to allow our clients to maintain their assets to a desired standard and to manage their

cash flow for building maintenance.

Maintenance programmes are based on building reports and will outline all areas and services

that are to be checked up on, re-tested, serviced, etc. Such a maintenance report is designed to

suit each building in its own respect and if adhered to will ensure that general maintenance

costs and over-all year to year expenditure on a building can be kept to a minimum and allow

for realistic budgeting forecasts.

SMALL OR MINOR WORKS

Pieter classifies small works as work that is required on a site that would generally be part of a

general construction, retro fitment or re-development project. Such works can be summarized

as painting projects, landscaping projects, paving projects, tiling projects, shop fitting projects,

space planning or procurement to commercial or residential property.
