Renovations are typically done on either commercial or residential buildings. Additionally, renovation can refer to making something new, or bringing something back to life and can apply in social contexts. For example, a community can be renovated if it is strengthened and revived. It can also be restoring something to a former better state (as by cleaning, repairing, or rebuilding). Renovation is very common in some places. For example, there are more than twenty thousand home improvement projects every year in Hong Kong, affecting more than a million residents<sup id="cite_ref-香港01_2023_d719_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-香港01_2023_d719-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> (population of HK is around 7.5 million in 2023).<sup id="cite_ref-censtatd.gov.hk_k612_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-censtatd.gov.hk_k612-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:The_Shell_of_the_White_House_during_the_Renovation-05-17-1950.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b3/The_Shell_of_the_White_House_during_the_Renovation-05-17-1950.jpg/220px-The_Shell_of_the_White_House_during_the_Renovation-05-17-1950.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="306" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b3/The_Shell_of_the_White_House_during_the_Renovation-05-17-1950.jpg/330px-The_Shell_of_the_White_House_during_the_Renovation-05-17-1950.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b3/The_Shell_of_the_White_House_during_the_Renovation-05-17-1950.jpg/440px-The_Shell_of_the_White_House_during_the_Renovation-05-17-1950.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2070" data-file-height="2881" /></a><figcaption>Truman's renovation of the <a href="/wiki/White_House" title="White House">White House</a>, 17 May 1950</figcaption></figure> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Phases_and_process_of_renovations">Phases and process of renovations</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Renovation&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Phases and process of renovations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Photography_by_Victor_Albert_Grigas_(1919-2017)_00087_Rear_Gut_JUNE_1971_(37507228366).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Photography_by_Victor_Albert_Grigas_%281919-2017%29_00087_Rear_Gut_JUNE_1971_%2837507228366%29.jpg/200px-Photography_by_Victor_Albert_Grigas_%281919-2017%29_00087_Rear_Gut_JUNE_1971_%2837507228366%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="135" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Photography_by_Victor_Albert_Grigas_%281919-2017%29_00087_Rear_Gut_JUNE_1971_%2837507228366%29.jpg/300px-Photography_by_Victor_Albert_Grigas_%281919-2017%29_00087_Rear_Gut_JUNE_1971_%2837507228366%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Photography_by_Victor_Albert_Grigas_%281919-2017%29_00087_Rear_Gut_JUNE_1971_%2837507228366%29.jpg/400px-Photography_by_Victor_Albert_Grigas_%281919-2017%29_00087_Rear_Gut_JUNE_1971_%2837507228366%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="6661" data-file-height="4481" /></a><figcaption>The interior of a <a href="/wiki/Victorian_building" class="mw-redirect" title="Victorian building">Victorian building</a> in <a href="/wiki/Lincoln_Park,_Chicago" title="Lincoln Park, Chicago">Lincoln Park, Chicago</a> in the process of being renovated in June 1971.

The availability of free online design tools has improved visualization of the changes, at a fraction of the cost of hiring a professional designer. The decision regarding changes is also influenced by the purpose of basement renovation <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://basementrenovations.company/basment-renovations-edmonton/">[1]</a>. Depending on the significance of these changes a professional may be required, especially if any changes other than cosmetic work (paint or finishes) is required. Many local codes require a professional to complete work in the built environment such as structural changes, new walls, new plumbing, or many others. Doing these changes without hiring a professional can result in health effects, safety concerns, damages, fines, and increased cost due to having to hire a professional after self-work.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Most builders focus on building new homes, so renovating is typically a part-time activity for such tradespeople. The processes and services required for renovations are quite specific and, once plans are signed off, building a new home is relatively predictable. However, during renovation projects, flexibility is often required from renovation companies to respond to unexpected issues that arise. Renovations usually require all of the sub-trades that are needed for the construction of a new building. </p><p>In case of a so-called "fix-and-flip" (repair and resell) objective, an ROI (return on investment) can result from changes to fix a structural issue, to fix design flow yield,<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> or to use light and color to make rooms appear more spacious.

Renovations are also one way to do this. </p><p>Renovations decrease emissions as instead of demolishing a building just to build a new one the building is reused. Reuse of buildings is not always desirable as it is often pursued to have a building designed for the many individual and unique needs building owners have but it is not always a necessity. Renovations can take a building and make it completely different from the old building just reusing the structure, which is often the largest contributor of <a href="/wiki/Embodied_carbon" class="mw-redirect" title="Embodied carbon">embodied carbon</a> to a building. However, in order to be able to do this buildings need to be design durably and re-use.
