Pre-Purchase Risk Assessment
We identify heritage 'red flags' at the pre-purchase or design stage, allowing developers to mitigate risks before they become costly delays.
By knowing in advance if there is a likelihood of an expensive excavation being required, you can budget accordingly helping your project run more smoothly.
Desk-Based Assessments
A Credible Heritage DBA is more than a literature review; it is an expert synthesis of over 20 years of local site data.
Tutored under Prof. Trevor Watkins and Prof. Dennis Harding of the University of Edinburgh and having collaborated with Geoff Bailey of Falkirk Museum, Barry Gray applies a rigorous, academic-standard methodology to every assessment.
Written Schemes of Investigation
Navigating the requirements of NPF4 and local authority conditions requires a consultant can be trusted. Barry’s experience ensures that every Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) meets the highest statutory standards.
