Building on the Past
Clients often bring concerns about existing building decay, lack of suitability for current needs and potential additional expense to a potential building re-use project. With thoughtful analysis we can eliminate these worries and uncover hidden potential within existing resources. Our award-winning success with multiple preservation projects highlights the opportunities for people, place and possibility hidden within.
After peeling back outdated systems and dated renovations there is significant value to existing quality construction. Retaining solidly built infrastructure contributes money to the bottom line in savings and can preserve irreplaceable craftsmanship to enhance your project.
