Most people think of archaeology as a buried resource, uncovered only when the ground is disturbed. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. Often, developments will involve the demolition or refurbishment of standing buildings, which may be of historic interest. Sometimes a developer may be required to assess the historic importance of a building or structure, even where it is not protected by current legislation.
BaRAS specialises in the assessment and survey of buildings of any age and can provide expert advice to developers. Our staff can unravel the complexity of a building or structure from castles and country houses to the humble nineteenth century worker’s dwelling.
