There are many reasons why a building requires to be deeply renovated — bolstering its sustainability; lessening its negative impact to the environment; and improving its economic potential for the property owners, to name a few.
New City understands the necessity and the prerequisites for a deep renovation. There is a huge potential for energy savings when renovating both the interior and exterior of your building, which ultimately translates into cost savings, as less energy will be needed to maintain the same level of heat or sunlight into your property.
The recommended frequency of a deep renovation is 15 to 20 years. The average duration of home ownership in Canada is eight years. During this time, the same property will have two to three owners that will have used and sometimes abused the premises.
In recent years, deep renovation has become a requirement for the construction and building sectors to diminish their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and meet global energy reduction objectives. This has become one of the Global Building Performance Network’s (GBPN) main goals. Canada’s GHG emission reduction commitment is 30% below 2005 levels by 2030.
Before moving forward with deep renovation, you need to consider the costs of improvement in comparison with the return on investment (ROI). Your ROI depends on a lot of factors — whether it’s a deep renovation for the whole property, for instance, or just a part of it; or how modern the end result should be.
Today’s market shows that Canadians are very positive towards renovations, as an Angus Reid poll commissioned by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) noted that 48% of all Canadian homeowners planned to renovate in the next 12 months.
Here’s what you need to consider during deep renovation/retrofit:
- Exteriors, e.g., cladding, wall assemblies, replacement of materials, etc.

- Safety precautions and measurements
