On-Site Expert Advice: Starting Your Journey
We provide free expert advice upon your first contact. Whether you prefer a phone call or an on-site consultation with a specialist conservation architect, we are here to help to provide Professional Conservation Architect Advice.
For larger projects, we often offset the cost of this initial on-site visit against our future service fees. Our fee structure typically ranges between 5% and 15% of the total building cost, depending on the size and complexity of the work.
- New Builds: These often require less detailed examination and attract lower percentage fees.
- Historic Buildings: These projects require greater expertise and time, which our fee structure reflects.

Why You Need a Professional Conservation Plan
Conservation Plans are essential for most Lottery Funded projects, but they offer immense value for any heritage asset. We use the methodology set out in Conservation Plans for Historic Places to assess the cultural significance of your site. This plan acts as a yardstick for:
- Major repairs or restorations.
- New developments within a historic setting.
- Future management and maintenance programs.
Our Proven Methodology
We follow a clear, strategic process to ensure the best results for your property:
- Understand the Site: We gather documentary and physical evidence to illustrate how the place has changed over time.
- Assess Significance: We make value judgments on every element of the building. We identify what is essential to keep, what is desirable to change, and what negative impacts we should reverse.
- Define Risks and Opportunities: We identify constraints that could impact the site’s significance.
- Set Conservation Policies: These policies form the heart of the plan. They serve as the benchmark for every proposal we formulate.
As Sustainable Eco-Heritage Architects, we offer extremely competitive rates. We want to help you achieve your vision within your budget.
