Consulting

Our expertise

We provide consulting services for practical projects involving historic buildings.

We cover the entire spectrum of preliminary investigations.

Through in-depth investigations, we strive to extend the lifespan of historic structures.

We deal with all types of structures and materials, from farmhouses to bridges and from timber to concrete.
