Plan complex building renovations with ease

Schüco Value Up is a modular range of solutions that provides architects with comprehensive support for complex renovation projects. From the first analysis of the existing building and planning to implementation and building operation, Value Up brings together all the necessary products and services for the building envelope. This makes it easier and safer for architects to plan existing buildings – even challenging renovation projects can be tackled efficiently.

The challenge when renovating existing buildings often lies in striking a balance between sustainability goals, cost efficiency and design requirements. Schüco Value Up helps to combine these goals. With precise planning tools, project-specific solutions and experienced experts at their side, architects remain in control of deadlines and budgets.

They can implement innovative ideas in existing buildings without compromising on planning certainty. Schüco Value Up turns a complex existing building task into a project that can be planned – for architects, this means more freedom to create good architecture with maximum reliability in the process.

Schüco Value Up greatly simplifies the planning of existing projects. The first step is a precise analysis of the existing building, which provides architects with a clear picture of the condition of the building and the renovation options – this creates planning certainty right from the start. With the help of digital simulation and planning tools, complex requirements can be recorded more quickly and various renovation options can be simulated virtually. This allows potential problems to be identified at an early stage and solutions to be found before the construction phase begins. In addition, Schüco provides its partners with experienced specialists. Together, custom renovation concepts are developed, tailored to the conditions of the respective building.

Schüco system solutions for refurbishment comply with all applicable standards and ESG requirements, which simplifies design and approval planning because architects can rely on constructions that have already been tested. This close collaboration and the tools provided significantly reduce planning work and complexity. For architects, this means that even extensive renovations can be prepared in a structured and efficient manner – without any nasty surprises and with optimum use of the available design freedom.

A central component of Schüco Value Up is the digital tools offered to architects for planning existing buildings. Schüco provides comprehensive data and software solutions for virtually developing and testing renovation measures. For example, digital simulation programs can be used to run through different façade options in terms of energy efficiency, daylight and climate behaviour before the first real intervention takes place.

BIM objects and CAD data for Schüco systems facilitate the integration of new units into existing buildings and ensure precise planning documents. There are also project management tools that can be used to coordinate processes and track progress digitally. All these digital tools reduce manual effort and planning uncertainties. This saves architects valuable time and allows them to prepare complex renovation projects much more efficiently and transparently. The use of digital tools not only shortens the planning phase, but also makes it more reliable – changes can be simulated at an early stage, thereby avoiding mistakes on the construction site.
