Heritage Restoration & Conservation Perth
Restoring heritage properties demands a thorough understanding and knowledge of past construction methods and materials so that proper care and sensitivity can be exercised as they are restored to their former glory. Our restoration procedures are carried out in such a way as to limit any damage or cause any further unnecessary deterioration to your project.

Choosing an appropriate treatment for a historic building or landscape is critical.
- Conservation/Preservation focuses on the maintenance and repair of existing historic materials and retention of a property’s form as it has evolved over time.
- Rehabilitation acknowledges the need to alter or add to a historic property to meet continuing or changing uses while retaining the property’s historic character.
- Restoration aims to depict a property at a particular period of time in its history, while removing evidence of other periods.
- Reconstruction which is sometimes necessary when certain areas of an old building has partially collapsed or there is evidence of the removal of portions of the building
