At SWET Construction Group we receive many questions about multi-family construction. One of the most popular questions asked, ‘Is it better to build a new multi-family housing from scratch or renovate an existing structure?’. There are several factors to think about.
Economical: Each project must be evaluated carefully to determine which will be cost-effective. If renovations of an existing building consist of plumbing, roofing, electrical, mechanical or the structure has deteriorated extensively then new construction may be more cost-effective.
Historical Significance: Historical buildings often have architectural flair, unique to the time period it was constructed, renovating them enables you to preserve this history. There are several tax credits such as brownfield and historic tax credits which can help offset the cost.
Environmental: While renovating an existing building offers you an opportunity to reduce waste and preserve natural resources, there will be a lot of materials going into the landfill with the demolition of an existing building. Whether your project consists of new construction or renovations, installing energy-efficient Energy Star appliances, LED lighting, super insulation and water saving devices are cost-effective and simple measures that will yield substantial energy savings.
