Property renovation – an alternative to moving?

July 25, 2016 By BuildBuro Leave a Comment

When you live in one London’s more desirable properties, it can be a difficult decision to move on because you are looking for something a little bit more modern that suits your modern family life a little better. You may be reluctant to sacrifice the location of your property and you may be reluctant to move away from the building itself if it is architecturally impressive. Often ties such as local schools, great neighbours and friends make the decision a little harder, especially when you include the transaction cost of a move to somewhere in a neighbourhood close by.

Of course, there is an alternative to moving house. You could choose to stay in the same property, but invest a bit of money on a renovation project to bring the house up to date whilst creating more space and improving your living environment beyond your imagination. For house renovation, London is actually ahead of the game – largely because of the proliferation of older properties in the capital and the limited space in the most desirable neighbourhoods such as Mayfair, Chelsea, Kensington and Westminster.

Professional construction companies are capable of introducing all sorts of  techniques to make your home more contemporary, energy-efficient and modern whilst respecting the period and character of your property. Buildburo work closely with you to realise your ambitions, create space that you never knew existed, bathe darker areas with light, reduce noise from street level and bring your designs to life. We make your architectural drawings and improvements a reality, brick by brick, step by step.

Renovation is just the sort of solution that allows you to hold onto your home, be proud of the improvements and updates to your home whilst making sure your new property meets all of your practical and aesthetic needs for many years to come. Sometimes, the results gained from a property renovation far exceed the expectations of the owners – something we love to do for our clients who include estate managers as well as private home owners.

Communication is the key for interior designers

July 21, 2016 By BuildBuro Leave a Comment

When renovating or refurbishing your home, you will usually have very clear ideas about what you like and what you don’t like and how you want your finished property to look or feel. However, you may not be in a position to know how to achieve the level of interior design you are hoping for or be experienced enough in interior design to communicate your vision accurately. Different styles, furniture, layouts and property all combine to make every home in London unique. This is why you should think carefully when choosing which residential architect and interior designer to work along side your local builder in London.

The last thing you want is for your refurbishment or renovation project to fall into someone else’s hands, only for your control of the project to slowly ebb away and their personality overtake yours. At Buildburo, we often recommend working with an exceptional residential architect and a dedicated team of interior designers who can help you to achieve your vision. Involving you in each key design decision and advising you as often as possible along the way. Interior designers often answer the subtle questions well, like which colours work well together for your room and when to bring in other colours from other rooms, how to combine paints, fabrics, carpets or floors together to create a natural flow and incredible look for your property.

If your renovation involves quite a lot of building work, we often find interior designers in London working alongside our team of in-house building professionals as part of a combined effort.

The key to great interior design for homes in London is teamwork, with you as its captain. It is important to meet with your interior designers regularly and for them to put in the hours when it comes to preparing designs and drawing up plans. Constant communication between builder, architect and interior designer prevents issues from arising, solves problems quickly and helps create your perfect home interior.
