Materials Conservation

Materials conservation requires rigorous quality control procedures to ensure that preservation treatments are executed in alignment with project specifications and requirements. Materials conservation is the practice of preserving and maintaining the integrity of cultural heritage objects, structures, and sites. Conservators assess the condition of these materials, identify the causes of deterioration, and implement treatments that are sensitive to the historical and cultural significance of the items. Conservation treatments can include cleaning, stabilizing, repairing, and sometimes replacing damaged elements with compatible materials. The practice is guided by ethical standards that prioritize minimal intervention and respect for the authenticity and original context of the conserved items.

We offer comprehensive consulting services for architects, general contractors, museum managers, and other project leaders, guiding them from the early stages of design development and project scoping through to kick-off meetings, submittals, mock-ups, and final project documentation, including RFIs and report production. Our team of Conservators stays current with the latest advancements in the conservation field by engaging in academic presentations, attending professional conferences, and participating in peer reviews. They also actively share knowledge through publications. This expertise, coupled with the experience of our Project Managers, enables us to deliver high-quality conservation services, ensuring the success and integrity of every conservation project.
