Heritage buildings - Import export

For listed buildings, there are regular new construction tasks. Often there are no adequate plans on the basis of which planning, modernization or renovation can be carried out. Due to the very high scan rate of more than 1 million measured values per second, range resolution in the millimeter range and a measuring accuracy in the mm range, even the capture of the finest structures and details is still possible with the 3D laser scanners from Zoller + Fröhlich. The 3D documentation is therefore the ideal prerequisite for reconstructions of, for example, design conditions or sensitive stucco work. The recorded inventories, damage, structures and details are recorded in databases and allow a faithful reconstruction of the entire object or of parts of the object at any later time.

Over the last recent years a greater and greater attention to the existing building heritage and to the activities aimed to the preservation of both buildings with high architectural value and those belonging to the category of traditional buildings has been developed. Among the restoring interventions of existing buildings there are often strengthening works, in which one provides the embedment of metal anchors into masonry or wood stitching of cracks, bonding between reinforcement metal anchors and the existing structures, tierod or reinforcement ring put to contain the action of pushing elements such as arches and vaults, connection between floor slabs and outside masonry walls, embedding of anchorages inside the walls in order to increase their resistance and the global behaviour of structures also for seismic upgrading.

When it comes to the domain of listed buildings and heritage works, these types of project can create unique and complex contracting challenges. Using an inexperienced building contractor runs the risk of breaking the law, counter cost effectiveness and inevitably damage your reputation within industry. Historic and heritage building conservation and renovation requires an experienced and skilled contractor with a proven project delivery track record which is further backed up with an array of satisfied clients. Working with our clients, their design teams, local authorities and listed building inspectors, our experience and workmanship on buildings with historic interest and listed consent allows us to demonstrate our respect and enthusiasm for restoration and renovation. The Ashley Group understand that with Listed Buildings and Heritage Works, discretion and sensitivity are paramount alongside a deeper appreciation and understanding of applicable building regulations.
