renovators

They update buildings

Renovators are people who renovate—restoring, updating, or improving buildings and spaces.

The term usually applies to those who work on houses or commercial properties, whether professionally or as homeowners: The renovators gutted the kitchen and started fresh.

It can extend to anyone who revives or refreshes something that has declined: renovators of old traditions.
