Building Refurbishment
Refurbishment: to activate; renovate; brighten, liven.
Clients approach us with similar reasons to refurbish their buildings. The main drivers for building refurbishment are the need to improve commercial value, maximizing building efficiency, attracting new tenants and minimizing disruptions and operating costs.
In order to increase a building’s efficiency, essential equipment such as chillers and boilers need to be upgraded every 15 to 20 years. As the equipment gets older, the efficiency decreases. Without an upgrade, the old equipment will increase running costs of a commercial building. Faulty equipment would also cause disruptions to the daily operations of a commercial building. Refurbishment efforts are also a reflection on responsible building owners who are interested in maintaining the value of their investment and retaining existing tenants.
In order to assist our clients in their building refurbishment projects, we conduct our own analysis of the buildings and find out where efficiency can be improved, and how to achieve a higher NABERS rating and design new services provisions that match new Buildings (e.g. tenant supplementary outside air).
We help our clients find the best solutions for their needs, and explore different avenues for cost-savings.

Building Services Suitability Review
Our Building Services Suitability Review has one main objective: to minimize Client’s risk.
Businesses relocate and shift offices. Whether a Client is expanding or downsizing, it is important to consider whether the property they intend to move in to would cater to their needs — before committing to a lease or legal agreement.
TJ Consulting’s Suitability Review will help you answer questions such as:
- Does the potential office space have sufficient power for all your equipment?
- Will the potential office space require any additional equipment in order to cater to your business needs? If it does, how much will it cost?
- Can the building owner contribute to any fitout costs?
- What aspects of the potential office space can the Client use to negotiate rent?
- Is it wise to lease the potential office space you are interested in?
- Will there be substantial mechanical air conditioning supplementary infrastructure cost due to lack of base building provision?
