Historic Preservation
Preservation Architects at SOCOTEC work closely with local and national historical commissions to verify that historical preservation and restoration work is performed according to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Historic Preservation. SOCOTEC has worked extensively with numerous styles of building construction and has worked with countless building materials, including but not limited to stone, masonry, slate, wood, terra-cotta, bronze, and wrought iron. SOCOTEC’s Preservation Architects carefully choose replacement materials with the Owner to match the existing design and require little maintenance. This ensures that the end result is a building that appears aged, but that has been well-maintained over the years.
