Historic Building recording

Historic building recording contributes to our understanding of the historical significance, both past and present, of a building or structure.

The Building Survey

An historic building survey can be used to inform proposed development at the earliest stage and is a means of recording details that may subsequently be obscured or lost as a result of development.


Often a requirement for Listed Building or Scheduled Monument Consent, there are 4 levels of Historic Building Recording Surveys ranging from a scene setting appraisal (level 1) to a comprehensive, detailed record often reserved for buildings of special importance.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services

Matrix Planning has commissioned Groundworks Archaeology for a number of sizeable projects in recent years, ranging from desk-based assessments to evaluations. James is always happy to help at short notice and is highly enthusiastic. He is realistic and readily understands project constraints.

 

We have found him to be very knowledgeable about the planning application process when it comes to addressing archaeological conditions. He has liaised on our behalf with the various planning authorities to establish the parameters of the works required, thus ensuring that we were able to comply with the conditions without incurring significant costs or delays.

 

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services to anyone else undertaking a development project, whatever its size or scale."
