The Difference between a Repair and a Renovation?
Repairs are generally performed on existing buildings or structures to restore or update their condition. Renovations, however, involves changing a building, or its purpose, remodeling it, and/or adding new features and elements.
At Formidable Group, renovation is a multi-step process which includes that we call PPEP.
P = Planning,
P = Preparation
E = Execution
P = Post-renovation tasks
