Recommendation for Building Refurbishment

1. Patching up

• Is  very often accepted because of apparent lower cost
• It should always be regarded as a temporary measure & employed onlyu where the building has a linmited functional or economic life & when more extensive rehabilitation or improvement works are planned in the near future .

2. Replacement of Parts

• Should be the first consideration to give a permanent repair
• However , lack of suitable compatible materials , high cost or other difficulties may give rise to problems that make this recommendation unattractive . 

3. Complete renewal

• The most economic solution for buildings with a longer life.
• The process can either involve removing existing parts for the entire area or providing a complete coverage over existing areas depending on adequate fixing facilities being possible .

Recommendation

- In any one of these coursees of action , the faults need to be properly corrected to revent a repetition of the same defects & only materials , components & techniques which are well tried & tested should be used .
