Built Heritage

Helping owners and managers of heritage buildings to conserve, adapt and manage them for a sustainable future.

Our nation’s-built heritage faces constant challenges from urbanization and intensification. Heritage conservation can help to increase property values of both the restored building and the surrounding properties. It can encourage tourism and help businesses attract customers. We work with our clients to identify, assess and manage our built heritage at local, state and commonwealth level.  Conservation planning and adaptive reuse are key elements in securing a sustainable future for our built heritage.

Our team works with local councils, state and national authorities, architects, urban planners, property owners, project managers and developers. 

We work with individual property owners to help them safeguard the character-defining elements of cultural buildings so as to retain their heritage value and extend their physical life.

Our services include:

  • Heritage advice
  • Heritage assessments
  • Statements of Heritage Impact
  • Photographic archival recording
  • Conservation management plans
  • Opportunities and constraints assessment
  • Schedules of conservation works
  • GIS and spatial analysis
  • Streetscape studies
  • Cultural landscape analysis
  • Historical research and mapping

We acknowledge Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, their many diverse communities across our nation and their rich culture. We pay respect to their Elders past and present. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as Australia’s first peoples and as the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land and water across the Australian landscape and seascape. We recognise and value the ongoing contribution of Aboriginal people to Australian life and how their contribution continues to enrich our society.
