Large-scale changes to masonry buildings may be completed as a response to damage or as a requirement to facilitate adaptive reuse of a structure. Exposure to moisture and decades of environmental wear can deteriorate masonry buildings. Premier’s experienced team can assess your building’s damage and identify the best approach to repairing or reconstructing it. When needed, we can partner with architects and engineers to ensure the building is structurally sound and safe.
Adaptive reuse of historic buildings often calls for both functional reconfiguration of the space as well as structural reinforcement. The Premier team has worked on adaptive reuse projects throughout Philadelphia that have reimagined many of the city’s unused structures. By retrofitting adjustments to walls and openings and by carefully reconstructing structural elements damaged by wear and neglect, Premier has been part of revitalizing neighborhoods while retaining their historic buildings and their unique sense of place.
Premier Building Restoration has decades of experience with large-scale masonry reconstruction projects and is fully qualified to make changes to your masonry building. Whether your repair or retrofit is required following the failure of materials or is elective to facilitate a change in use; Premier ensures your alterations are carefully planned and expertly executed.
Commonly required structural changes:
- Retrofitting of existing openings
