peruskorjausten

Peruskorjaus is a Finnish term that translates to major renovation or refurbishment. It refers to a comprehensive overhaul of an existing building, often involving significant structural, technical, and aesthetic improvements. Unlike minor repairs or cosmetic updates, a peruskorjaus aims to restore the building's functionality, safety, and value to a modern standard, or even enhance it.

The scope of a peruskorjaus can vary greatly but typically includes upgrading or replacing essential building systems such as plumbing, electrical wiring, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. Structural repairs, insulation improvements, and window replacements are also common. Beyond technical aspects, peruskorjaus often involves redesigning interior layouts to improve usability and modernizing finishes and fixtures. The goal is to extend the building's lifespan significantly and make it more energy-efficient and comfortable for its occupants.

Peruskorjaukset are undertaken for various reasons, including the deterioration of the building's condition, the need to adapt to new regulations, or to improve its marketability. These projects are generally more extensive and costly than standard renovations, requiring careful planning, design, and execution. The process often involves architectural and engineering expertise to ensure that the renovation meets contemporary building standards and the specific needs of the property owner.
