Heritage

With over thirty-five years’ experience in the construction industry, we have successfully completed the Heritage projects outlined below and in turn gained an immense amount of experience and knowledge within this sector.

After the EQ events of 2011 Richard worked for a PMO that delivered the Christchurch City Councils strengthening and repair program which undertook more than forty repairs over a four-year period.

Richard collaborated with engineers and heritage architects to effectively deliver these projects using engineered solutions to meet the confines of budget and program.
