About Summit Conservation

Meet Brian Cunningham

Managing Director

For over thirty years Brian Cunningham has led the restoration of some of Ireland's most important historic buildings — working alongside conservation architects, local authorities, churches, universities and the owners of private heritage homes.

Summit Conservation was founded on a simple conviction: historic buildings should be repaired using the materials and methods they were built with.

That philosophy — traditional craftsmanship, minimal intervention and a genuine respect for architectural history — is why architects and conservation officers return to us with their most sensitive buildings.
