House built of concrete- how to refurb?

Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.20 PM

Hello all, We have had an offer accepted on what we thought was a Victorian property. However, the survey has shown that much of the property is not brick built, but poured concrete. It must have been repaired after the war. First of all, what are the disadvantages, or benefits, of concrete? Secondly, as we are planning a complete refurb for the house, how will this impact on the work? Will it be more difficult to e.g. install new doors and windows? Or remove internal walls? Will we need specialist builders, or is this a common job? Thank you!
