UpFactor can help you reach your goals by increasing your building height, from identifying and verifying this potential to carrying out the actual project.
- Our software UPFACTOR GEOSERVICES® reveals all the potential for adding height to your building stock, starting with just a list of properties.
- We can analyse your buildings and provide you with an assessment of your property’s potential.
- We conduct in-depth regulatory studies on the selected properties (e.g., analyses of the structure, thermal performance, surveys, and fluids).
- We can support you as an Assistant Project Manager during the actual execution of your project.
- Your new housing and your renovated property complex will not require you to buy any land.
