Portfolio : Research

Each building represents a complex interaction of materials, uses and environment over time. Properly informed, researched understanding is the basis of appropriate conservation and design, and most of our projects involve research. We have developed our own researched methodologies for carrying out conservation area appraisals and access audits, integrating numerous standards. We regularly carry out archival historical research to establish the form of construction, date and historic development of buildings and sites, increasingly required by vendors as a sales feature and buyers to inform restoration. We also carry out on-site data collection, surveys and investigations, building recording, feasibility studies reports on conservation and sustainable strategies. In addition, we have been involved in scientific research into issues affecting conservation policies and practices, technical advice publications and educational initiatives to raise professional standards.
