English Heritage has appointed the practice as an approved consultant for condition survey services under their Asset Management Programme. The unique five-year long commission involves teams from ten studios working at sites throughout the country. The practice’s national coverage provides the flexibility to fully resource every piece of work across all nine English Heritage regions.
To date, the teams have carried out specialist condition surveys at some of the country’s best known historic monuments, including: Clifford’s Tower, an iconic castle keep in York; Audley End, a fine Jacobean country house situated near Cambridge; and St. Paul’s Monastery in Jarrow, which is renowned as the home of Bede, the 8th-century historian and scholar.
The practice’s knowledgeable architects handle the entire survey and reporting process. Their experience means they give informed decisions on the condition of the buildings and deliver clear, appropriate recommendations. The practice is delighted that this framework builds upon its long-standing relationship with English Heritage.
