Documentation, Surveys & Planning
Stewarding a historic property means balancing the things that need to change with the things that should stay the same. We work with clients to document their historic buildings, which can include identifying historic materials, character-defining features, and past alterations. Our reports are tailored to the client’s needs, often providing treatment recommendations, advice on project phasing, and a hierarchy of preservation priorities.
Similarly, our services include documentation of historic structures for archival purposes. Often, this is done to meet the requirements of Section 106 or ORS 358.653 mitigation.
Lastly, we assist local governments and nonprofits with a variety of planning projects including historic resource surveys, guidelines and best practices, and other specialty reports.
