As existing buildings age, nearly half of all construction activity
in Britain is related to maintenance, refurbishment and
conversions. Building adaptation is an activity that continues to
make a significant contribution to the workload of the construction
industry. Given its importance to sustainable construction, the
proportion of adaptation works in relation to new build is likely
to remain substantial for the foreseeable future, especially in the
developed parts of the world. Building Adaptation, Second Edition
is intended as a primer on the physical changes that can affect
older properties. It demonstrates the general principles,
techniques, and processes needed when existing buildings must
undergo alteration, conversion, extension, improvement, or
refurbishment. The publication of the first edition of Building
Adaptation reflected the upsurge in refurbishment work. The book
quickly established itself as one of the core texts for building
surveying students and others on undergraduate and postgraduate
built environment courses. This new edition continues to provide a
comprehensive introduction to all the key issues relating to the
adaptation of buildings. It deals with any work to a building over
and above maintenance to change its capacity, function or
performance.
