Project Description
Transforming Homes with Modern Efficiency
At Building Solutions EU, we’re not just about new builds - we excel in giving existing homes a fresh lease of life. Our project near Wimborne in Dorset perfectly showcases our commitment to delivering high-quality refurbishments tailored to client needs.
Our client's vision
This refurbishment came to us through a trusted industry referral, followed by a competitive tendering process. Our proposal, emphasising energy efficiency and meticulous project management, secured us the contract.
The client, a property investment group, sought to bring this home up to modern standards as the house hadn't been updated for 30 years. The property’s energy ratings were too low for the rental market, and it needed significant updates to meet both regulatory requirements and tenant expectations.
Our mission? To deliver a sustainable, stylish, and tenant-ready property.
- Complete overhaul of the kitchen and bathroom
- Installation of an air source heat pump
- Full insulation in the walls and floors
- Repairs and improvements to address structural wear and tear
Challenges we faced
Every refurbishment comes with its surprises, and this project was no exception:
- Rotten joists had to be carefully removed and replaced to ensure a solid structural base.
- Damaged boards were swapped out for a seamless finish.
- Exterior landscaping adjustments were required to improve water flow and prevent future issues.
With each challenge, our team responded swiftly, applying innovative solutions to keep the project on track.
Our approach
We worked closely with the client to ensure their needs were met every step of the way. Key elements of our project management included:
- Bi-weekly Reports: These detailed work progress reports addressed any unforeseen issues, and outlined the next steps, ensuring transparency and collaboration.
- Sub-Contractor Coordination: We managed plumbing and electrical contractors to handle the installations efficiently and to the highest standard.
The results
After weeks of dedicated effort, this East Dorset property now boasts:
- A modern, fully insulated interior
- An energy-efficient air source heat pump
- Stylish and functional kitchen and bathroom spaces
- Structural improvements ensuring long-term stability
Most importantly, the property now achieves a satisfactory EPC rating, making it a viable addition to the client’s rental portfolio.
