What is the difference between a renovation and a rehabilitation?
A renovation consists of modifying, updating or improving an existing space without altering its main structure. It usually focuses on finishes, interior layouts, installations or aesthetic elements, with the aim of updating the functionality or appearance of a home or premises.
A rehabilitation, on the other hand, involves acting on essential elements of the building -structure, foundations, facades, roof or construction systems- to recover its safety, durability and efficiency. It not only improves the aesthetics or layout, but also ensures that the building maintains or recovers its optimal habitability conditions.
At FILA we work with both approaches, always with specialist professionals.
When do we recommend a renovation or rehabilitation?
At FILA we assess each project in a personalized way to guarantee the most efficient, sustainable and appropriate solution to the client's needs.
We recommend a renovation when the objective is to update or improve the space without intervening in the main structure of the building. It is ideal if you want to renew distributions, finishes or internal installations to achieve greater comfort, functionality or aesthetics.
We recommend a rehabilitation when it is necessary to act on essential elements of the building to guarantee its safety, durability and energy efficiency. It is the best option in the face of structural problems, humidity, deteriorated roofs or outdated installations, and whenever the aim is to extend the useful life of the property with responsible and sustainable criteria.
How long does it take to carry out a renovations or rehabilitation?
The deadline depends on the scope of the project: a bathroom renovation can last a few days, while a comprehensive renovation or structural rehabilitation takes longer. At FILA we optimize execution times to the maximum and meet the agreed deadlines, with constant communication so that you can plan. Our work philosophy allows us to industrialize processes and reduce deadlines without losing quality.
