Heritage projects involve immense complexity, where relying solely on conventional empirical experience may make it challenging to accurately diagnose complex site conditions and formulate concrete, quantified, and targeted practices. Archeme Conservation works with scientific mindset, strictly adhering to international conservation principles of "Minimal Intervention" and "Reversibility." Through close collaboration within our team, we translate survey data into actionable, accurate engineering documentation, ensuring every on-site restoration step is scientifically justified.
Our Core Services:
Multi-Disciplinary Condition Surveys
Systematic inspection across diverse historic building components to evaluate deterioration causes and formulate professional conservation recommendations:
Roof Tiles & Ridge Decorations
Traditional Chinese pitched tile roofs, Shiwan ceramic ridges, and tile displacement or water leakage evaluations.
Traditional Timber Structures
Decay and structural integrity assessments of major structural timber components, load-bearing elements, as well as doors and windows.
Masonry & Moisture Analysis
Historic brickwork conditions, moisture/rising damp pathway analysis, and salt efflorescence record.
Concrete & Structural Distress
Record of historical concrete spalling, rebar corrosion, and crack logging.
Traditional Decorations & Statues
Damage mapping and surface degradation recording for plastered statues, murals, and ornamental features.
Restoration Method Statements
Jointly prepared by senior project managers and field technicals to replace generic templates, producing highly targeted site execution workflows, restoration steps, protection measures, and material application guidelines compliant with heritage specifications.
Conservation Shop Drawings
Producing high-precision 2D digitized drawings to accurately detail dimensions and workflows for timber joinery, stone carvings, roof tile alignments, and decorative features etc.
Material Compatibility Assessment & On-Site Mock-ups
Conducted by technical specialists to evaluate the breathability and physicochemical compatibility between existing substrates and proposed materials. On-site mock-ups and demonstrations can also be executed to guarantee full compliance with conservation standards.
Comprehensive Photographic Documentation
In strict accordance with statutory heritage specifications, we provide systematic, high-resolution photo records across the "Before," "During," and "After" stages, thoroughly logging every operational step, on-site condition, and craftsmanship detail to establish a transparent, fully traceable project archive.
