CHARTERED ARCHITECTS ACCREDITED IN BUILDING CONSERVATION

www.cdac.co.uk

 

 

 

WE PROVIDE A SERVICE TAILORED TO YOUR OLD PROPERTY

  • helping owners to select decoration, repair and maintenance that works with the fabric of old buildings - and enhances the appearance

  • advising on avoiding incompatible modern materials and maintenance regimes - such as those that may prevent old buildings from 'breathing'

  • seeking ways to adapt for modern living or install essential modern services - without damaging the original fabric or appearance

OLD HOUSE OWNER? WE CAN HELP YOU...

  • keep up with authentic and appropriate repair and decorative techniques - magazines, websites and TV are making homebuyers more discerning

  • prepare for higher fuel bills - and likely future legislation - requiring even old houses to be better insulated and energy-efficient

  • assess the way your old house is coping with anything from dampness to modern occupancy - and provide a blueprint for its future maintenance

RESPONSIBLE FOR COMMERCIAL OLD PROPERTIES?

  • are customers attracted by your buildings' age and character? - if so we can advise on keeping the environment authentic

  • do you need advice relating to conservation areas and listed buildings or require the preparation of a conservation plan?

  • old buildings are a financial and environmental investment - it is becoming more difficult to justify demolition when knowledge, imagination and new adaptable technologies can now be applied to keeping them working

ABOUT US

  • CdAC ltd  are conservation architects based in London and East Anglia

  • we have provided architect's services for homeowners, businesses, charities and national conservation organisations for over fifteen years

  • RIBA-AABC accreditation - required under some English Heritage and local authority improvement schemes

  • see our website at www.cdac.co.uk

WHY ENGAGE AN ARCHITECT?

  • every old building is unique and needs individual assessment - there is general advice available in the media but no 'one-size-fits-all' solution

  • we can provide a full 'begining-to-end' architect's service - but we can also examine individual building problems - however small

  • we are happy to provide initial - or ongoing - specialist input to assist other consultants, in-house teams or even homeowners' DIY - whichever is appropriate
