PROJECT TYPE
HISTORIC PRESERVATION
AES has restored numerous historic structures, many of which are on the National Register. Our specialized approach to building preservation and restoration breathes new life into old structures. This approach also extends to non-historic structures, where the mark of excellence at maintaining and renovating existing facilities is often economy and simplicity of execution.
Our familiarity with the National Park Services’ standards and in providing accurate and detailed Historic Structures Reports (HSRs) has helped many projects acquire grant funding for stabilization and preservation. In addition to survey and assessment services, we help provide specifications for testing mortar, brick, wood, and concrete samples typically required in the HSR. Properly done, the HSR also outlines the history of the structure and establishes priorities for stabilization and repair of the building components, providing guidance as the design team moves forward.
