In the world of heritage and cultural projects, titles like Project Director and Project Manager are often used interchangeably. But their roles, responsibilities, and impacts are quite distinct — and understanding the difference can help you build the right team for your project’s success.

Delivering a heritage project is never just about bricks, mortar, and schedules. It’s about breathing new life into a building with history, ensuring it stands ready for the future while preserving the past. These projects have a complexity and richness that set them apart from standard construction — which is exactly why they deserve a specialist approach.

Owning a historic building is both a privilege and a responsibility. These spaces carry the weight of history — the craftsmanship, the stories, the character — but they also need to function in today’s world.

Traditional buildings are often inherently sustainable. Generations of builders knew how to use what was available locally — that’s why we have such beautiful and varied vernacular architecture across regions. These buildings were thoughtfully oriented to capture natural light and prevailing winds, and constructed from natural materials that breathed and moved with the environment.
