We will guide you through the feasibility, detailed planning and
construction phases. We advise on every aspect of a project, from
access to securing grants and using sustainable materials.

We are specialists in providing long term strategic advice to repair,
maintain and preserve buildings in historic settings.

We have an in-house architectural historian who researches
documentary evidence to understand the evolution of historic
buildings, so we make informed approaches to repairs, alterations
and new design in historic sites. We prepare Conservation Plans,
Fabric Condition Reports and Heritage Impact Assessments.

We have extensive experience in disaster management. We advise
on appropriate methods to safeguard and secure vulnerable buildings
and structures.

We specialise in understanding the history, construction
and materials science of buildings and are experts in the
use of traditional materials and techniques.

We are committed to providing sustainable building solutions and
promoting environmentally friendly working procedures as summarised
in our Environmental Policy.

We work with internationally renowned designers to resolve issues
surrounding the use and maintenance of historic buildings with the
intervention of contemporary design.

‘The interface between the old and new is harmonious yet forceful and one
of the rare recent examples of such successful grafts in this country. In Italy
they happen all the time, but here such dialogues are few’. Robert Bevan
on Compton Verney, Building Design Magazine.

We are able to advise regarding accessibility in historic environments,
balancing the need to preserve significant features with the desire to
achieve access for all. We have wide experience of designing appropriate
and discreet access solutions.

We have many years of experience in the repair of historic interiors and
the creation of new interiors within historic buildings. This may constitute
the careful repair of a particular feature, such as a plaster ceiling or wall
panelling, or the insertion of newly designed elements and
accommodation.

We design new buildings in historic settings using our skills and expertise
of traditional materials and appropriate new methods of construction.

We are able to assist our Clients in explaining our projects to visitors and
the public, through participation at open days, specialist tours and lectures.
