Reduce the risks involved in renovation projects while increasing cost-efficiency

With Schüco Value Up, every renovation can be executed reliably and cost-effectively. Schüco Value Up brings together products and services for all types of renovation – from refurbishments through to the replacement of units – and enables efficient, low-risk execution, even while the building is still in use. 

System-based renovations: efficient modernisation to ensure a longer service life for existing buildings

More than 85% of today's buildings will still be standing in 30 years. The challenge is that existing buildings need to be modernised to be more energy efficient, adapted to changing climate conditions and renovated so that they remain economically attractive for the long term. Subsidy programmes and energy efficiency standards offer additional renovation incentives. This turns existing buildings into a dynamically growing market that offers huge opportunities to our partners.

But the challenges in existing buildings are complex: each renovation project requires a custom strategy tailored to the specific circumstances of the existing building. Schüco Value Up brings together products and services for all types of renovation – from refurbishments through to the replacement of units – and enables efficient, low-risk execution, even while the building is still in use.

To help all those who maintain value to increase value

From the analysis of the existing building and the planning and implementation of the renovation right through to the subsequent operation of the building, Schüco Value Up actively contributes towards increasing the life cycle of the building, facilitates building conversions and enables fabricators to tackle the complex challenges of projects in existing buildings. For successful renovation projects, planned securely in a way that adds value.

With our solutions for every type of renovation – from refurbishment to replacing units or a full renovation – renovation measures can be implemented in a reliable and cost-effective way. Our approach reduces costs and offers flexibility. The result is sustainable, value-enhancing solutions for the respective property.

Maintain to Upgrade

As an architect, you are responsible not only for maintaining existing buildings, but also for upgrading them in a targeted manner and making them fit for the future. Our ‘Maintain to Upgrade’ service provides you with valuable support for precisely this requirement. We analyse the condition of existing Schüco systems, clarify the potential for functional maintenance and modernisation, and provide specific recommendations for targeted, cost-effective upgrades.

FAQs

How does Schüco Value Up ensure an efficient, secure renovation – even while the building is in operation?

Schüco Value Up was developed to help fabricators to renovate existing buildings securely and economically. The concept brings together Schüco products and services that are perfectly tailored to all types of building renovation – from smaller modernisation projects through to extensive, complete renovations. As a fabricator, you will benefit from tried-and-tested system solutions and a structured process that extends from the initial analysis through to the final acceptance. Experts are with you every step of the way, enabling you to plan and implement complex renovation projects with greater certainty. This means that even challenging renovations can be carried out reliably within the planned time frame and budget.

Schüco Value Up actively contributes to extending the lifecycle of existing buildings and facilitating conversions – with solutions that benefit the client and contractor in equal measure. With Schüco Value Up, each renovation is possible to plan, lower risk and more efficient, which gives you a decisive advantage as a fabricator.

What range of renovation projects (from partial modernisations to complete renovations) does Schüco Value Up cover?

With Schüco Value Up, any building or façade renovation can be carried out at low risk. It all starts with the planning: precise preliminary work and simulations prevent nasty surprises cropping up on the building site. Schüco provides you with tried-and-tested system solutions that have been specially developed and tested for renovating existing buildings – so you can rest assured that everything will run smoothly.

Regardless of whether it is a partial or complete renovation, the processes are standardised and flexible enough to be able to respond to unexpected circumstances. During the conversion, you will benefit from clear installation concepts and, if necessary, training so that your employees can install the new units efficiently and without errors. Schüco is also available to provide advice if technical questions arise. All of this significantly reduces project risk: meeting deadlines and budgets, ensuring quality – Schüco Value Up creates the conditions for this.

Which specific Schüco products and services can fabricators use with Value Up?

In every renovation, Schüco Value Up also takes account of the requirements of ongoing building operation. A number of measures can be scheduled to take place during normal operation, preventing expensive downtimes or the need to move users to another building. For example, new façade units can often be installed from the outside, leaving everything undisturbed inside.

Schüco offers minimally invasive renovation solutions – such as attachment systems or tailored unit inserts which preserve the existing building and can be installed quickly. This shortens construction times and minimises the impact on building users. Dirt and noise are reduced significantly as the units are prefabricated, which is also a benefit in buildings that are occupied or in use. For you as a fabricator, this means that you can manage your project smoothly and do not need to worry about costly temporary solutions or downtimes. A renovation with Value Up is therefore much less disruptive than conventional approaches.

How does Schüco Value Up help fabricators to manage renovation projects economically and cost effectively?

Schüco Value Up ensures a high degree of planning certainty for fabricators. All the details are ironed out with Schüco during the design phase – from necessary system components and installation processes through to any interfaces with other trades. This means that you as the fabricator will know from an early stage which materials and capacities will be required at each point. Last-minute changes to plans become less common because the renovation concept is developed and reviewed on a project-specific basis. Compliance with standards and the viability of the planned measures are also guaranteed, as Schüco Value Up is based on tried-and-tested solutions. This all makes operational planning much easier for you. Fabrication and installation can be better prepared and carried out on schedule. Schüco Value Up significantly reduces the uncertainties in existing projects – you can approach every renovation project with confidence because the schedule and budget are realistic.

How does Schüco Value Up ensure that renovations of existing buildings can be implemented on time and within budget?

Schüco Value Up provides fabricators with a comprehensive package of products and services. You can access a special renovation portfolio for products. This includes, for example, energy-efficient window systems to replace old units, façade attachment systems that can be installed on existing constructions or prefabricated modules for fast modernisation projects. All of these Schüco products are designed to fit perfectly into existing buildings – with compatible dimensions and clever detail solutions for attachments.

Schüco offers an extensive range of services in addition to its products. Experts provide support with the analysis of the existing building, create renovation concepts and help with implementation planning. Digital tools such as planning and fabrication software make work planning easier. In addition, fabricators benefit from training courses, technical documentation and a direct line to the Schüco Service team if you have any questions. This tailored range of products and services ensure that you can manage every renovation project efficiently and professionally.
