Our cities contain a wealth of built heritage consisting of historic and other singular buildings as well as the contemporary structures in which we live, work and do business, spend our leisure time, stay when visiting, etc.
Conserving and adapting these buildings with renovations to restore their functionality or their structural stability and to bring them in line with today’s standards, needs, and uses is our vocation, to which we apply our experience and workmanship.
Any refurbishment process involves a large degree of complexity. At KALAM we have a store of specialist know-how in the performance of such work as required for successful property investment, maintenance, or adaptation projects. Since 1987 our in-house teams have been solely devoted to this construction segment: building rehabilitation.
We offer solutions tailored to each project’s needs. We listen to our clients and to their technical teams so as to offer a holistic response, assisting and advising them at every project stage, upholding their interests and seeking a successful outcome. We work as a team, giving support in decisions and supplying technical solutions, meeting strict timelines, and pursuing the quality to which we are committed in all our work.
Our large portfolio of specialist references and our tailored organizational structure underpin our work. We carry out full rehabilitation projects with our own staff of practitioners. We do specialist structural rehabilitation jobs involving woodwork, metalwork, concrete, soil reinforcement, foundation repair, etc., as well as delicate interior finishes or facade restorations, especially ornate facades and artisanal finishes, with our traditional master craftspeople, plasterers, zinc workers, etc., working alongside heritage restorers and history and fine arts graduates. We provide holistic solutions and added value, with the necessary rigor and control.
