I think you can leave most of the drawing as it was, only focus on the new part you need work on.

Don't worry too much about how clean or organized a dwg file is.

As long as when it is printed out on the paper and looks good, it's OK.

At moment, the construction work is still rely on paper hardcopies, not electronic files. I guess you are not working on a 3d-printing building.

So no one is going to use a microscope to zoom up the hardcopy and the laser printer is not going to tell people which line is one a wrong layer.

 

What I usually do with such drawing is:

Make a copy.

Change everything to "bylayer", include all entities in all blocks.

Xref it as the background.

Change all xref layer color to a lighter color.

Use XCLIP to clip it to clear the area where the new building is.

Unload it.

Only reload it when necessary, such as before printing.

 

It can speed up the process. Sometimes too much efforts spent on unnecessary works.
