ASAP Architects combine our interest in building conservation with energy saving technologies and building materials produced from sustainable sources. Often natural materials used in historic building repair and alteration is intrinsically sustainable. They often combine this quality with the ability to function effectively for hundreds of years. As a member of the Association of Environmentally Conscious Building (AECB) and the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC) we are committed to reducing the detrimental impact of our buildings on the worlds environment.

Our building conservation expertise is used across a wide range of our everyday project work particularly where historic buildings are involved. This might commence with our work on feasibility studies for a particular building where our conservation and repair advice will provide the basis for later design and construction work. It might also be used when giving planning advice or where we are helping with a particular study. We have often been involved with the development of local planning policies that might effect how a particular historic area or conservation area may be developed. This expertise is also important when we are providing construction drawings or where we are preparing detailed specifications and construction work schedules.
