THE PROSPECTS FOR OFFICE REFURBISHMENT

The objectives of this study, which was carried out in the second half of 1986, were to establish the recent value of office refurbishment work, the area of refurbished floor space generated and its broad geographical distribution; to assess the resultant market for contractors' and consultants' services and for major products and product groups; to highlight the factors both encouraging and discouraging office refurbishment and to project its likely future development. The research comprised both personal interviewing and postal questionnaire programmes and the analysis of much published data on both office refurbishment and new building projects. It was commissioned by Touche Ross.
