The requirements and demands on the development of the access and maintenance strategy is very different when considering a refurbishment of an existing building, compared to a new build.
While the ultimate goals are substantially the same there are additional constraints that come to play when dealing with buildings that have limitations which can be structural or spatial, or subject to strict planning or listing constraints.
It is imperative to assess the project and extent of refurbishment, whether it is just to consider the refurbishment/replacement of an existing access system or refurbishment of the building as a whole.
