      \r\n \r\n \r\n Is rehabilitating worth it compared with building new? <\/span>\r\n <\/button>\r\n\r\n \r\n
      \r\n In most cases in consolidated areas, yes: the existing building has location value, image value and often building rights that a new construction would not have. We analyse case by case. <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
      \r\n \r\n \r\n Can I alter the fa\u00e7ade of an old building? <\/span>\r\n <\/button>\r\n\r\n \r\n
      \r\n It depends on the PDM, the area and any protection regimes. There is almost always room for intervention \u2014 but it must be verified before designing, not after. <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
      \r\n \r\n \r\n What is an ARU? <\/span>\r\n <\/button>\r\n\r\n \r\n
      \r\n An Urban Rehabilitation Area (ARU) \u2014 a municipal delimitation where rehabilitation can benefit from specific procedures and incentives. We check your property's status at the start of the process. <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
      \r\n \r\n \r\n What surprises can the works bring? <\/span>\r\n <\/button>\r\n\r\n \r\n
      \r\n Fewer than you might think, when the diagnosis is done well: the constructive and pathology survey reduces risk and anticipates the difficult decisions. <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
