Renovation Management for Adaptability and Disassembly Enhancement
Reimagining renovation: adaptable, disassemblable, neighbourhood-driven.
REMADE develops a neighbourhood-centred Renovation-as-a-Service model, combining design for adaptability and disassembly, digital tools and co-created interventions to transform how renovation is conceived, delivered and financed across Europe.
Three interlocking pillars turn one-off building works into an ongoing, service-based relationship: technical elements you can reconfigure, a digital backbone that keeps track, and a social process that starts with the people who live there.
Prefabricated, design-for-adaptability-and-disassembly modules for façades and internal partitions with integrated energy-efficient technologies, rapidly installed, reconfigured and disassembled with minimal disruption to residents.
A cloud-based renovation platform using BIM, digital twins, IoT sensors, material inventories and cloud-controlled LCA/LCC, for smart construction planning, energy monitoring and documenting every building transformation.
Participatory action research and co-design embed neighbourhood needs, cultural and historical practices into renovation strategies, so interventions fit the place and the people, not just the building stock.

Warmer, healthier, quieter homes with lower bills, renovated around your routines, with minimal disruption.
A replicable route to climate and housing targets, with transparent evidence to justify public investment.
Predictable, phased upgrades across portfolios, lower whole-life cost and assets that adapt to future needs.
New service-based revenue in manufacturing, installation and digital tools, with standardised, repeatable processes.
Reduced risk through high-fidelity data, standardised contracts and transparent, comparable impact metrics.
Sixteen partners across eight countries — universities, research institutes, industry, municipalities and public bodies, coordinated by City St George’s, University of London.
Consortium partners gather for a two-day meeting on 3–4 September 2026 to align on objectives, the work plan, demonstration sites and a shared roadmap for the 36-month project.
