Historic and Heritage Consulting

Understanding the existing conditions of a historic structure is critical to responsible intervention. Our investigations combine visual reviews, selective openings, and targeted diagnostics to uncover how traditional assemblies are performing. These insights guide sensitive repairs, retrofits, and conservation strategies.

We help project teams extend the life of heritage buildings by upgrading assemblies to meet safety, performance, and durability goals. Our solutions respect the character-defining elements of historic buildings while introducing thoughtful improvements. This work often bridges past and present—bringing legacy systems into alignment with modern energy, durability, and code needs.

Navigating the regulatory landscape around historic buildings often requires specialized knowledge and proactive coordination. We support permitting, designation, and compliance efforts by translating technical scopes into documentation that meets agency expectations. Our experience working across multiple jurisdictions streamlines the process and reduces project delays.

When deterioration, water damage, or failure occurs, heritage buildings require specialized analysis. Our forensic services combine investigative tools with expert knowledge of traditional systems to identify underlying causes. The result is a repair strategy that not only resolves the issue but also preserves the building’s integrity and significance.
