Building Conservation

Building conservation is the practice of protecting, preserving, and maintaining historical or culturally significant buildings and structures. It aims to safeguard their architectural, historical, and cultural value while ensuring they remain functional and safe for future generations. Conservation work may involve repair, restoration, and ongoing maintenance to retain the building's authenticity and historical character.
