Building derating works

Physical works matched to a genuine property plan.

LDC carries out soft strip, service removal and demolition works for vacant commercial and industrial buildings being redeveloped, substantially altered or demolished. The scope can include removing toilets, kitchens, fixtures, finishes and redundant services before progressing towards shell and core or structural demolition.

01

Welfare removal

Controlled removal of toilets, washrooms, kitchens and other welfare facilities where they form part of the agreed redevelopment or demolition scope.

02

Internal soft strip

Removal of partitions, ceilings, floor finishes, doors, fixtures and other non-structural elements to the agreed level.

03

Services strip-out

Redundant mechanical and electrical services isolated, removed and segregated in coordination with the project information and specialist trades.

04

Demolition works

Structural demolition or major alteration delivered where the approved project scope moves beyond internal strip-out.

05

Evidence records

Dated progress photographs, scope details, invoices, waste records and project information retained to evidence the physical work completed.

06

Adviser coordination

The physical works can be planned around evidence requirements agreed in advance with the client, property adviser and rating specialist.

Clear evidence of progress

Scope, photographs and records kept together.

The agreed schedule, start date, dated photographs, removal records, waste documentation and contractor invoices provide a clear record of what has physically taken place. These can support the client's adviser when dealing with the VOA, without LDC making a promise about the rating outcome.
