Conservation

We are passionate about breathing new life into old buildings, whether through sympathetic restoration or by regenerating spaces with contemporary design and materials. We have over 35 years’ experience caring for listed buildings and historic structures, as well as advising on heritage funding and statutory requirements.

Conservation Management Plans

We can prepare Conservation Management Plans for sites, which assess the significance of a heritage asset and ascertains how the significance will be protected in the future, whether this involves development options or general maintenance or repairs.

Heritage Funding Applications

We have a vast array of experience working on projects that have received heritage funding and assisting with bids for funding applications, including Heritage Lottery Funding and Arts Council England.

Condition Surveys

It is important to carryout regular maintenance works to historic buildings and rectify any issues and eradicate potential future issues as soon as possible. A Condition Survey can provide an important document to establish any significant risks or physical deterioration and determine the priority of future maintenance.

Feasibility Studies

Our conservation team can help determine the viability of a site, building or structure and also provide innovative options that explore all possibilities, from simple restoration to regenerating spaces through contemporary design or materials.

Planning, Listed Building and Conservation Area Applications

Working closely with Historic England and Local Authority Planning conservation departments on projects, we ensure a smooth and efficient process and have experience of carrying out work within sensitive and historically important sites.

Regeneration of Historic Spaces

RBS have the expertise and experience to join a project at any stage and create a vision to work towards, including strategies for development over a period of time and phased plans to comprehensively build a site into something spectacular.

BIM in Heritage

We understand the value that new technologies can have on projects involving historic buildings and structures. BIM has great advantages in heritage projects and we endeavour to utilise our BIM expertise to ensure we achieve the most optimum solution for each of our projects.
