Heritage Building Remedial Consulting
Heritage-listed buildings often suffer from leaks, corrosion, and structural deterioration that must be addressed without compromising their historic significance. Our role is to provide independent engineering advice for remedial works to roofs, façades, drainage systems, balustrades and structural elements, ensuring safety, compliance, and durability while respecting heritage fabric.
Our services typically include:
- Condition and diagnostic assessments of roofs, façades, gutters, and structural elements to identify causes of leaks, corrosion, or instability.
- Development of remedial options and specifications that balance performance requirements (e.g. waterproofing, safety, compliance with current codes) with conservation principles.
- Preparation of technical documentation for tender, allowing contractors to price and deliver consistent remedial works.
- Oversight of site works to ensure remedial interventions are carried out safely, correctly, and without unnecessary loss of heritage material.
We focus on practical outcomes: resolving defects while retaining heritage significance. For owners, committees, and managers, this means confidence that interventions are durable, compliant, and sympathetic, avoiding the cycle of patch repairs and ensuring the long-term preservation of valued heritage assets.
