From Wearings-Out to Gearing-Up
Proactively update your building — bringing it to modern-day aesthetics and functional excellence, extending its useful life, and maximizing the value of your investment.
Shift from Reactive to Proactive
The goal of the Refresh initiative is to assist property owners in moving from "wearing-out" to "gearing-up." Too often, buildings reach a critical state of deferred maintenance or design obsolescence before owners act. That reactive approach usually means higher costs, more disruption, and lost opportunity.
Our aim is to help you proactively update your building — bringing it to modern-day aesthetics and functional excellence, extending its useful life, improving occupant experience, and maximizing the value of your investment. With Barnes Design Group guiding the process, you'll gain the benefit of our experience and an end-to-end approach that reduces risk and increases clarity.
How Refresh Works
Our comprehensive approach guides you from assessment to delivery, ensuring quality at every phase.
We assess your building's current condition, layout, systems and aesthetic feel. We discuss your objectives for the next 5–10 years.
Leveraging 3D modeling and visualization, we establish a refreshed vision that aligns design, functionality and brand identity. We propose options for layout changes, system upgrades, and aesthetic refreshes.
We develop an implementation strategy, mindful of budget, phasing, and minimizing disruption to users.
We produce detailed architectural and engineering documents required for permitting, bidding and construction. Close coordination with your team ensures building operations and logistics are accounted for.
We oversee the construction phase, ensuring quality, schedule and cost alignment throughout the build.
After occupancy, we evaluate performance, user feedback, and suggest any tweaks or next phase planning.
An Investment You Can't Afford to Delay
Many property owners defer building upgrades until required systems fail or aesthetics become outdated. While understandable, this can result in higher unexpected costs, disruption to operations, loss of occupant satisfaction and productivity, and reduced asset value.
Higher Unexpected Costs
Reactive repairs are always more expensive than planned upgrades.
Operational Disruption
Emergency fixes disrupt daily operations and productivity.
Loss of Satisfaction
Outdated spaces reduce occupant satisfaction and morale.
Reduced Asset Value
Deferred maintenance decreases your property's market value.
With Refresh by Barnes Design Group, you shift from reactive to proactive. You get a partner who guides you from assessment to delivery, with the objective of maximizing return on your building — both in everyday use and long-term value.
