Cultural Heritage Risk, Managed Across the Project Lifecycle.
Cultural heritage and archaeology are often treated as an obstacle in large-scale delivery, a source of delay and unexpected cost. Handled early and intelligently, heritage risk is predictable and manageable. We turn a perceived barrier into a governed part of the programme, so issues surface in advance and heritage becomes an enabler of project success, not a threat to it.
Discuss your projectCultural heritage and archaeology consultancy that protects programme, compliance and financing.
A heritage and archaeology consultancy for planning-led and lender-financed projects. Cultural heritage sits in the gap between heritage specialists and environmental and social consultants, and that gap shows up as delay, suspended disbursement or refused consent. We close it, treating heritage and archaeology as a governed risk rather than tick-box compliance and a one-off report.
Compliance with lender and regulator standards
Heritage and archaeology compliance assessed and evidenced against IFC PS8, World Bank ESS8, EBRD ESR 8, Equator Principles and the mining standards, written to satisfy independent review.
Lifecycle delivery
From feasibility and ESIA through construction, monitoring and close-out, with the governance and record-keeping that keep heritage commitments on track rather than a single report filed and forgotten.
Planning and heritage reports
Feasibility, desk-based assessments, heritage statements and heritage impact assessments, thoroughly researched and proportionate, to support UK planning applications and international regulatory authority requirements.
Thirty years of heritage, archaeology and environmental EIA/ESIA delivery, from UK planning-led schemes, linear infrastructure and global mining to international lender-financed programmes.
