Adaptive Reuse

Adaptive reuse projects, converting existing office, industrial, retail, or institutional buildings into new uses, carry a different kind of red tape than ground-up construction. Prior site use, existing environmental conditions, outdated utility service, and zoning written for a different use all have to be understood before repositioning can move forward.

DFM supports adaptive reuse teams throughout the project lifecycle, helping confirm what a site is carrying, secure the right permits and zoning confirmations, coordinate utility upgrades, and maintain compliance through construction and closeout.
