Building Renovation Services

Most buildings in Lahore are structurally sound long after their finishes, layouts and services have aged. Kitchens and bathrooms leak, wiring is overloaded by air conditioners and inverters, roofs let in monsoon water, façades look dated and floor plans no longer suit the people using them. ACCO's building renovation services fix all of this in one coordinated project:

• Condition survey of structure, damp, finishes, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and fire safety.
• Design of new layouts, interiors, elevations and services, with 3D visuals before work starts.
• Structural engineering for wall removals, new openings, extra floors and strengthening.
• Civil, MEP, finishing and joinery works by ACCO's own site teams.
• Itemised BOQ, fixed programme and QA/QC inspections at every stage.

Whether you need a single floor refreshed or a complete building rebuilt from the frame up, we treat renovation as engineering first and decoration second.

Building Renovation Company in Lahore

ACCO has been designing, building and renovating in Lahore since 1998, from DHA, Gulberg, Model Town, Johar Town and Bahria Town to the Mall, Ferozepur Road and the Walled City. As a building renovation company in Lahore with architects, structural and MEP engineers and site teams under one roof, we can take responsibility for everything from approvals and structural safety to the last coat of paint. Our office is at Bigcity Plaza, Gulberg-III, so a survey can usually be arranged within days.

Commercial Building Renovation

A tired commercial building loses tenants and rent. As a commercial building renovation contractor, ACCO upgrades lobbies, lift lobbies, corridors, washrooms, façades, parking, HVAC, electrical capacity, fire alarm and sprinklers so the building can compete with new stock. Work is phased floor by floor, with night shifts and dust screens, so businesses keep operating. See our commercial building design and construction service for new-build work.

Residential Building Renovation

Residential building renovation covers houses, bungalows, farmhouses and residential blocks. Typical projects include new kitchens and bathrooms, re-plumbing and re-wiring, new false ceilings and flooring, extra rooms, a new front elevation and roof waterproofing. We offer house renovation services in DHA Lahore, Bahria Town and other societies, managing society NOCs and working-hour rules.

Complete Building Remodeling

Complete building remodeling strips a building back to its structure and rebuilds it to a new plan. Walls move, staircases and shafts are added, services are replaced from the meter to the fittings, and the elevation is redesigned. Our structural engineers check every change – new openings, cantilevers, extra floors or roof gardens – and design beams, lintels and strengthening before demolition starts.

Old Building Renovation

Buildings that are 25, 40 or 60 years old need a careful approach. Our old building renovation starts with a structural and damp assessment, including rebound hammer and core tests where needed, then repairs foundations, cracks and corroded steel before upgrading layouts and services. Old load-bearing brick buildings are treated very differently from RCC frames, and we design accordingly.

Luxury Home Renovation

Luxury home renovation brings an older house up to today's standard: open-plan living, imported kitchens, spa bathrooms, home cinema, smart-home controls, marble and timber floors, feature staircases and a new elevation. ACCO combines architectural design with high-end finishing – see our luxury interior design in Lahore.

Office Building Renovation

Modern teams need open collaboration areas, meeting rooms, focus booths, better daylight, efficient HVAC and plenty of power and data. ACCO's office building renovation service re-plans floors, installs new ceilings, raised floors, glass partitions, LED lighting, VRF air conditioning and structured cabling, and refreshes reception and washrooms. We can phase the work around occupied floors or deliver a full strip-out and fit-out between tenants.

Commercial Plaza Renovation

Commercial plaza renovation in Lahore is often the fastest way to raise rents and occupancy. We replace dated façades with glass, ACP or stone cladding, redesign entrances, lobbies and lift lobbies, upgrade washrooms, stairs and parking, and bring electrical, plumbing and fire safety up to current requirements. Details of our plaza work are on the commercial plaza finishing services page.

Hotel Renovation Services

ACCO's hotel renovation services upgrade guest rooms, bathrooms, corridors, lobbies, restaurants and banquet halls floor by floor while the hotel keeps selling rooms. Soft refurbishments refresh carpets, curtains, upholstery and lighting; hard refurbishments replace bathrooms, ceilings, HVAC and fire systems. See hotel interior design services in Lahore.

Hospital Renovation Services

Hospital renovation is ACCO's specialist field. Our hospital renovation services upgrade wards, OTs, ICUs, labs, OPDs and emergency departments while clinical services continue, using infection-control barriers, negative-pressure enclosures, controlled working hours and careful shut-downs of medical gas, power and water. We bring experience from projects such as work at King Edward Medical University/Mayo Hospital and UOL Hospital Lahore. See our hospital construction services.

School & College Building Renovation

School and college building renovation must be safe, durable and finished on time – usually within summer or winter vacations. ACCO renovates classrooms, labs, libraries, auditoriums, washrooms, hostels and sports facilities, adds ramps and accessible toilets, upgrades fire safety and electrical systems and strengthens older blocks where needed. See also our school and institutional interiors.

Restaurant Renovation Services

ACCO's restaurant renovation services rebrand dining rooms, rebuild kitchens and exhaust systems, renew washrooms and upgrade lighting and HVAC, including takeovers of former restaurant sites. Learn more on our restaurant interior design services page.

Apartment Renovation

Apartment renovation works within tight rules: building management permissions, lift bookings, limited working hours, noise control and shared services. ACCO renovates single apartments and entire blocks – kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, ceilings, wardrobes, electrical and plumbing – and coordinates riser and shaft work with the building's management and neighbours.

Building Interior Renovation

Building interior renovation covers everything inside the envelope: partitions, doors, false ceilings, flooring, wall finishes, kitchens, bathrooms, staircases, joinery, lighting and HVAC. Our interior designers produce the layouts, 3D views and material schedules and our site teams build them. See interior design services in Lahore.

Building Exterior Renovation

Building exterior renovation protects the building and improves its street presence: new elevations, boundary walls and gates, driveways, landscaping, terraces, external lighting, weather-resistant paints and coatings, sunshades and rainwater drainage. We also repair parapets, chajjas and balconies that have cracked or corroded.

Building Facade Renovation

Building facade renovation gives an old building a new face. Options include structural glazing and curtain walls, aluminium composite (ACP) cladding, stone, porcelain and GRC panels, louvers and fins, and façade lighting. Our engineers design the sub-frame and fixings for wind load and check the existing structure can carry the new cladding. For combustible-cladding risks we specify fire-rated cores and cavity barriers.

Structural Repair & Strengthening

ACCO provides structural repair and strengthening services designed by qualified structural engineers registered with the Pakistan Engineering Council. We assess the building visually and with non-destructive tests, calculate the actual and required capacity, and then design the repair: concrete and steel jacketing, carbon-fibre (CFRP) wrapping, steel plate bonding, micro-concrete, epoxy injection, underpinning and new foundations. Strengthening is also used when adding floors or changing a building's use. Where needed, we issue a structure stability certificate.

Roof Repair & Waterproofing

Lahore's monsoon finds every weakness in a roof. Our roof repair and waterproofing service removes failed layers, repairs cracks and slopes, and installs systems that suit the roof: bitumen or APP membranes, liquid polyurethane or cementitious coatings, heat-reflective coatings and properly designed brick tiling with falls to outlets. Parapets, upstands, pipe penetrations and water-tank bases are detailed carefully, because that is where most leaks start.

Building Finishing & Refurbishment

As a building refurbishment contractor, ACCO delivers the final finishing that makes a renovation feel new: plaster and putty, paint and textures, tiles and marble, false ceilings, doors and windows, glass and aluminium, railings, wardrobes, kitchens, sanitary fittings, lights and switches. Every surface is inspected and snag-listed before handover.

Where renovation changes a building, restoration repairs it. ACCO's building restoration services in Pakistan start with diagnosis: why is the concrete spalling, where is the damp coming from, why has the wall cracked, is the structure still safe? We investigate with visual surveys, crack monitoring, moisture meters, cover meters, rebound hammer and ultrasonic tests and, where needed, concrete cores and carbonation tests. Only then do we specify the repair, so the problem does not come back.

• Concrete, steel and masonry repairs designed by structural engineers.
• Damp, leakage and waterproofing failures traced to their source.
• Like-for-like restoration of historic materials where character matters.
• Clear reports with photographs, causes, repair methods and costs.

Historic Building Restoration

Historic building restoration respects the original fabric. We document the building with measured drawings and photographs, record its materials and decay, and repair with compatible methods – lime mortars and plasters instead of hard cement, matching bricks and timber, and minimum intervention – following widely accepted conservation principles such as those of ICOMOS. Modern services are added discreetly and reversibly wherever possible.

Heritage Building Restoration

Lahore's colonial-era, Mughal-influenced and early-20th-century buildings – havelis, bungalows, institutional blocks and commercial frontages – deserve skilled care. ACCO's heritage building restoration covers jharokas, carved timber doors and balconies, decorative brickwork, fresco and lime plaster, terrazzo and tile floors, and timber roofs. For protected sites we work with the owner's conservation architect and the relevant authorities, such as the Walled City of Lahore Authority for properties within its area.

Old House Restoration

Old house restoration keeps the character families love – high ceilings, verandahs, courtyards, timber windows and brick details – while fixing damp, cracks, sagging roofs, rusted steel and outdated wiring and plumbing. Many older homes in Model Town, Gulberg, Shadman and Cantt can be restored and modernised at a lower cost than demolishing and rebuilding.

Commercial Property Restoration

Commercial property restoration repairs plazas, shops, warehouses, factories and office buildings damaged by age, leaks, settlement, overloading or poor original construction. We prioritise safety and continuity of business: urgent propping first, then permanent repairs phased around tenants, followed by façade and common-area restoration to protect the asset's value.

Damaged Building Repair

Buildings get damaged by floods, heavy monsoon rain, earthquakes, nearby excavation, vehicle impact, fire and long-term leaks. ACCO's damaged building repair service responds quickly: safety assessment, temporary shoring and weather protection, insurance documentation with photographs and quantities, structural design of repairs, and full reinstatement of finishes and services.

Concrete Repair & Restoration

Spalling concrete and rusting bars are among the most common problems in Lahore's buildings, especially in roofs, chajjas, balconies, basements and water tanks. Our concrete repair and restoration removes defective concrete, cleans and treats or replaces the reinforcement, applies bonding agents and rebuilds with polymer-modified repair mortars or micro-concrete, then protects the surface with anti-carbonation coatings. Repair practice follows the approach of standards such as ACI 562 for repair of existing concrete structures.

Structural Crack Repair

Not every crack is serious, but every crack has a cause. Our structural crack repair service maps and measures cracks, monitors whether they are moving, and identifies the cause – shrinkage, settlement, overloading, corrosion or thermal movement. Repairs then match the cause: low-pressure epoxy injection to restore strength, polyurethane injection to stop leaking cracks, stitching with steel bars or helical ties for masonry, and foundation or structural strengthening when the crack is a symptom of a bigger problem.

Column & Beam Strengthening

Column and beam strengthening is needed when members are under-designed, damaged by corrosion, or must carry new loads such as extra floors, water tanks or equipment. ACCO's engineers design RCC jacketing, steel jacketing and plate bonding, and carbon-fibre (CFRP) wrapping for columns and beams, with temporary propping during the work. Strengthening is designed with seismic safety in mind, in line with the Building Code of Pakistan seismic provisions.

Brickwork & Masonry Restoration

Our brickwork and masonry restoration repairs cracked, eroded and salt-damaged walls: careful removal of failed bricks and mortar, replacement with matching bricks, repointing with compatible mortar, crack stitching, and desalination of walls affected by rising damp. Exposed brick façades are cleaned gently and sealed with breathable water repellents.

Exterior Wall Restoration

Exterior wall restoration deals with weathered paint, hollow and cracked plaster, algae, efflorescence and leaking joints. We hack off loose plaster, repair cracks with mesh, re-plaster, apply waterproof primers and high-performance exterior paints or textured coatings, and seal window and door perimeters so rain stays out.

Plaster Repair & Restoration

Hollow, cracked or damp plaster usually signals a deeper problem. Our plaster repair and restoration fixes the cause first – leaks, rising damp or movement – then replaces the plaster with the right system: cement-sand plaster with mesh at joints for modern RCC buildings, lime plaster for historic masonry, and gypsum or skim coats for smooth interior finishes. Decorative cornices, mouldings and ceiling roses can be recast to match originals.

Roof Restoration Services

ACCO's roof restoration services go beyond waterproofing. We repair or recast deteriorated RCC slabs, restore traditional timber-and-brick (girder-tile) roofs, replace corroded steel girders, rebuild parapets, restore clay-tile and sloping roofs, and add insulation and heat-reflective finishes to reduce indoor temperatures in summer.

Flooring Restoration

Flooring restoration brings old floors back to life: terrazzo grinding and polishing, re-levelling of uneven or hollow tiles, replacement of broken tiles to match, timber floor sanding and re-finishing, and epoxy or hardener floors for parking, factories and warehouses. Where floors have sunk, we investigate and repair the sub-base first.

Marble & Stone Restoration

Our marble and stone restoration service grinds out scratches and lippage, fills cracks and holes with colour-matched resin, hones and diamond-polishes marble and granite back to a mirror or satin finish, and crystallises or seals the surface against stains. We restore marble floors, staircases, wall cladding, vanity tops and façade stone, and re-fix loose stone panels with stainless steel anchors.

Waterproofing & Dampness Treatment

Damp destroys paint, plaster, timber and health. ACCO's waterproofing and dampness treatment identifies whether the moisture is rising from the ground, penetrating from outside, leaking from pipes or forming as condensation, and treats the source:

• Chemical damp-proof course (DPC) injection for rising damp.
• Crystalline and membrane waterproofing for basements, water tanks and bathrooms.
• Pressure grouting and injection to stop active leaks.
• Leak detection and re-plumbing of concealed pipes.
• Ventilation improvements and anti-fungal treatments.

Building Facade Repair

Building facade repair keeps existing façades safe and watertight: re-sealing curtain-wall and window joints, replacing broken or fogged glass, re-fixing loose stone and ACP panels, repairing spalled concrete fins and chajjas, and cleaning and re-coating. On tall buildings we work from gondolas, rope access or scaffolding with full safety measures and protection for the public below.

Fire-Damaged Building Restoration

After a fire, the visible damage is only part of the story. ACCO's fire-damaged building restoration begins with a structural assessment of how heat has affected concrete and steel, using visual grading, rebound hammer and core tests. Damaged concrete is removed and rebuilt, steel strengthened or replaced, and the building is cleaned of soot and odour. Electrical, HVAC and fire systems are renewed, and we upgrade fire safety so the risk is lower than before. See our MEP & firefighting services.

Building Maintenance & Rehabilitation

Planned maintenance is cheaper than emergency repair. ACCO provides building repair and maintenance services on annual or call-out contracts: pre-monsoon roof and drainage inspections, waterproofing touch-ups, plumbing and electrical maintenance, paint cycles, façade cleaning and HVAC servicing. When a building has fallen too far behind, rehabilitation brings it back into full, safe use with a prioritised repair plan spread over a budget you can manage.

Complete Building Rehabilitation Solutions

Our complete building rehabilitation solutions combine everything on this page into one turnkey building renovation contract: survey and testing, structural repair and strengthening, waterproofing, façade, interior renovation, new MEP and fire safety, finishing, testing and handover with as-built drawings, warranties and a maintenance plan. One contractor is responsible for the whole outcome, so nothing falls between trades.
