Today, a large part of the Dutch monuments are open for visits, which we believe is definitely worth it! We get excited about construction-related issues concerning a monument. Our advice is crucial when renovating a historic building. We ensure that its renovation proceeds safely, respectfully, and in accordance with regulations, while preserving the building’s historical value and meeting modern standards. Below we explain this further.
A solid construction advisory ensures the preservation of the historical value of a monumental building. A good structural recommendation helps maintain the original features of the building, such as distinctive facades, ornaments, and construction methods, while integrating modern requirements.
Many monumental buildings are old and may show signs of structural wear, such as weakened foundations, wood rot, or cracks in walls. A structural assessment evaluates the current state of the building and identifies the measures needed to ensure the safety of the structure. These buildings often have complex constructions, such as vaults, wooden beam layers, or brick walls built in a specific way. We know how to handle these techniques and can advise on the best renovation methods that fit the original construction.
Finally, in renovating monumental buildings, we seek ways to make the building more sustainable and energy-efficient, without jeopardizing its monumental status. A structural advisory helps find the balance between modern sustainability techniques and preserving the historic character of the building.
