Advisory
Heritage Consultancy & Supervision
Condition surveys, method statements, specification support and on-site supervision alongside architects.

- Measured condition surveys and defect reports
- Mortar and stone analysis
- Conservation method statements
- Specification and schedule of works support
- Section 57 declaration and grant application support
- Trial panels and sample approvals
