From planning and co-ordinating all the necessary trades right through to the final handover: IV Elements also undertakes refurbishment projects as a main contractor.

Services relating to refurbishment and modernisation

Tailored to your project

The services required always depend on the property, the condition of the rooms and the desired outcome. IV Elements puts together the necessary trades on a project-by-project basis and coordinates their collaboration.

Interior Fittings & Drywall Construction

New room layouts, suspended ceilings, cladding and functional adaptations to existing spaces. Drywall construction provides the basis for flexible spatial concepts and makes it possible to adapt existing properties to new requirements.

Painting & Finishing Work

Walls and ceilings play a key role in shaping the overall impression of a room. From preparing existing surfaces to the final finish, we coordinate the necessary painting and surface finishing work to ensure it fits in with the overall design concept.

Groundworks

Flooring is one of IV Elements’ long-standing core areas of expertise. Depending on the intended use and design, options include parquet, designer flooring, carpets and other flooring solutions.
Wir koordinieren sowohl die Vorbereitung des Untergrunds als auch Aufarbeitung, Verlegung und Abschlussarbeiten.

Electrical work

As part of a refurbishment, existing electrical installations often need to be adapted, extended or replaced. Specialist contractors can be engaged to integrate, amongst other things, electrical connections, lighting schemes and technical infrastructure into the project.

Sanitary ware & bathrooms

From minor alterations to the comprehensive modernisation of sanitary facilities, we coordinate the necessary specialist work and liaise with the other trades involved.

Joinery and carpentry work

Even in the final phase of a renovation project, there are many details that need to be brought together.
Custom-made fittings, doors, panelling or bespoke solutions can form an important part of a refurbishment.
Je nach Projekt binden wir geeignete Fachbetriebe in die Planung und Umsetzung ein.

Planning & Design

Not every project requires the same level of detail in the planning stage.
If architectural or further planning services are required, we can bring in suitable architects and planning partners from our team. This results in a solution that brings together design concepts, technical requirements and practical use.

Project Management & Co-ordination

Particularly when several trades are involved, organisation is key to the success of a project. IV Elements coordinates deadlines, interfaces and workflows, and ensures that the individual services mesh effectively. In this way, a multitude of individual tasks comes together to form a single project.

For businesses, organisations and commercial enterprises

Carrying out refurbishment without losing sight of your own business

Commercial property is not just about design.
Opening hours, operational procedures, safety requirements, time slots and coordination between the various parties involved play an equally important role. That is why we always plan and coordinate refurbishment work with the property’s actual use in mind.

Among other things, IV Elements supports projects for:

N

Childcare centres

N

Office and commercial premises

N

Medical practices

N

Retail spaces

N

Social services

N

Companies and commercial enterprises

N

other commercial properties

In this capacity, as the main contractor, we coordinate the necessary services and act as a single point of contact for the entire project.

Fewer interfaces for you.
A clearer overview of the project.

For private property projects

Also for private renovation projects

Private properties can also be refurbished or modernised as part of a comprehensive solution.

Whether it’s individual rooms, a comprehensive flat refurbishment or several trades working simultaneously: IV Elements coordinates the necessary services and brings them together into a single project.

Particularly in the case of more extensive renovation projects, a centrally managed process significantly reduces the organisational burden.

Even owners who do not live in Berlin permanently can benefit from this project structure.

Communication is available in German, English, Spanish and Italian.

Process & Steps

How a refurbishment project with IV-Elements works

01.

Property & Requirements

We are getting to know the project.

It all starts with the property, your requirements and the desired outcome.
Together, we will determine which areas are to be refurbished or modernised and which factors need to be taken into account. During an on-site visit, we will gain a thorough understanding of the current situation.

02.

Services & Planning

We set out the necessary measures.

Which trades are required? Which tasks are interdependent? Where is additional planning required?
We organise the individual requirements into a logical structure and, where necessary, bring in suitable architects, planners or other specialists.
This provides a clear basis for implementation.

03.

Project preparation

Individual contributions come together to form a joint project.

The required trades are brought together, processes are prepared and the necessary interfaces are defined. This results in a project plan that links the various parties involved. You will have a single point of contact for the entire project.

04.

Implementation & Coordination

We coordinate the various trades.

During implementation, IV Elements coordinates the specialist contractors involved and ensures that the individual stages of work are aligned. Deadlines, dependencies and necessary coordination are managed centrally. This ensures that the overall project remains under control, even when several trades are working simultaneously.

05.

Completion & Handover

Until all services have been consolidated.

As the project draws to a close, we coordinate any outstanding issues and oversee the final stages of the work. Our shared aim is to deliver a completed refurbishment in which the various elements come together to form a harmonious whole.

Construction supervision & project management

You make the decisions – we keep an eye on the project.

Not every project requires a turnkey solution from a main contractor.
Perhaps you have already commissioned individual specialist contractors or would like to award the contracts yourself, but need help with the coordination.

In this case, IV Elements can support your project by providing construction supervision.
We do not take on the full responsibility for commissioning all trades, but rather help you to coordinate processes, deadlines and those involved.

Team & Contacts

Personal support requires clear lines of responsibility

Behind IV Elements, which acts as a main contractor for refurbishment works, modernisation and construction supervision, is a team with experience in project management, organisation, materials and working with various trades.

IV Elements deliberately chooses not to operate like an anonymous large-scale provider.
Our strength lies in having direct points of contact, short lines of communication and the ability to bring together exactly the specialist partners required for each project.
Managed personally. Coordinated professionally.

FAQs on Renovation & Construction Supervision

Good to know

For frequently asked questions, we have put together a few answers here that can help you with your planning. Should you have any further questions, we are happy to help.

In which area or region does IV Elements operate?
IV Elements begleitet Sanierungs- und Modernisierungsprojekte in Berlin und Brandenburg.

Depending on the scope of the project and the location, we will assess together whether and to what extent support can be provided in a practical manner.

In which languages can project communication take place?

Consultancy and project communication can be conducted in German, English, Spanish and Italian.

What is the difference between a main contractor and a construction supervisor?
Bei einem Projekt als Generalunternehmen bündelt IV Elements die benötigten Leistungen und koordiniert die Umsetzung als Gesamtprojekt.

Bei der Baubegleitung haben Sie einzelne Gewerke oder Fachbetriebe dagegen bereits selbst beauftragt oder möchten diese eigenständig vergeben. IV Elements unterstützt dann bei Projektstruktur, Abstimmung, Termin- und Schnittstellenkoordination, ohne selbst alle Leistungen als Generalunternehmen zu übernehmen.

Can refurbishment work be carried out whilst the site is still in operation?
In principle, yes, provided that the nature and scope of the work allow for this.
Careful scheduling is crucial, particularly in nurseries, medical practices, offices and other occupied premises. We assess which works can be carried out within suitable time slots and how the various trades can be co-ordinated as effectively as possible with day-to-day operations.
Does IV Elements also undertake smaller refurbishment projects?
Yes. Not every project needs to involve a complete refurbishment.

Modernising individual rooms or coordinating several selected trades can also form part of a project. The key is to ensure that the scope of the work and the level of support required are well matched.

Can private properties also be renovated?
Yes. As well as commercial projects, IV Elements also oversees the refurbishment and modernisation of private properties in Berlin and Brandenburg.

Das kann von einzelnen Räumen bis zur umfassenderen Wohnungssanierung reichen.

Do I need to be on site regularly during the refurbishment?
Not necessarily.

Depending on the project, IV Elements can coordinate numerous consultations and on-site visits. This is particularly useful for property owners who do not live permanently in Berlin or Brandenburg.
The decisions that require your personal involvement will be agreed on a case-by-case basis within the project.

Can I still hire IV Elements even if I’ve already chosen my tradespeople?
Yes. That is precisely what construction supervision or project coordination is for.

If individual specialist contractors have already been commissioned, IV Elements can help to coordinate processes, deadlines, interfaces and communication between the parties involved.
