Cultural heritage management support
Baseline and impact assessment
Getting this right is critical to project success. We'll ensure the baseline captures what it needs to, that impact assessment is experience based, and that the mitigation measures are fit for purpose, pragmatic, and achievable. The priority is project completion.
Monitoring programs
Compliance or archaeological monitoring, we can do it in a sensible, measurable, and well-documented way. From KPIs and auditing to recruiting and training the crew, we can establish and deliver transparent, efficient, and effective monitoring programs.
Preconstruction studies and chance finds response
Archaeology and construction do not have to be in conflict. Well managed heritage service providers get permitting work done in advance and can provide rapid response to chance finds. We can make sure all of this occurs efficiently, as required, and that communications and coordination are clear and consistent. We need everyone on the same page. Meet the schedule while protecting important heritage.
Project sponsors and developers
Limited in house heritage management experience or capacity? We can fill the gaps. Facilitate project completion by managing financial, legal, and reputational risks related to heritage. We provide advice on best pratice and international standards and develop responsive pragmatic mitigation plans.
We can also help you get the most out of your heritage service providers. We make sure that the work they do is purposeful and brings the project closer to completion. Eliminate waste and extra costs by creating focused scopes with clear deliverables and accountability. We monitor and measure progress and performance so any problems are identified and addressed early on.
Construction contractors
Heritage requirements included in your tender or contract documents? We will review and explain in plain language what the requirements are, what your risks are, and the best way to manage them. We can input to tenders, draft management plans and procedures, prepare trainings and inductions, provide site protection planning, and meet any other heritage needs. We'll help ensure that obligations are understood and met, and that you are fairly compensated for your efforts.
Heritage contractors
New or existing project or client with growing demands? We can help you organize to meet them, efficiently. This includes support in client communication and coordination, planning and programming, resourcing, proposals, and contracting. Scope changes need to be captured and compensated. Heritage compliance is a legal requirement, professional services are being provided. Make sure remuneration is commensurate with the work.
