Our Approach to Historic Preservation Projects
Historic renovations require a tailored approach to ensure that the unique character of the building is maintained while it is brought up to modern standards. Our comprehensive services are designed to address the specific challenges of these projects.
- Blending Modern and Historic Elements: We specialize in the careful blending of modern functionality with historic preservation, grounded in economic reality. We help you update a building's infrastructure, such as electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems, while preserving original features like brickwork, woodwork, and unique architectural details.
- Navigating Regulations and Tax Credits: We are experienced in working with Historic Tax Credits and Architectural Review Committees. This expertise simplifies your planning and approval processes, ensuring that your project meets all regulatory requirements and allows you to take advantage of valuable financial incentives.
- Comprehensive Preconstruction Services: Rehabilitating older buildings often reveals hidden conditions and potential hazards. Our comprehensive preconstruction services are designed to identify these issues early, helping you save time and money during the construction phase by preventing unforeseen delays and costly changes.
