Historic Renovation

It’s not enough to “just get it done” it truly matters how you do it. With a fundamental understanding of how every part of the building envelope system interconnects with every other part ADC is one of a few elite operations with the right assets to be your General in the field or the hand selected precision strike force you need for any exterior project.

Negotiation and Facilitation

All building projects involve working with committees, board members, communities, and stakeholders at some point during the design and construction process. However, preservation projects are more complex due to their historical importance, and this step can increase exponentially. More stringent guidelines, additional permits, and approvals are vital to safeguarding the protection of our cultural resources. Unfortunately, they can also complicate and slow down many historic renovations.

At ADC, we have extensive experience negotiating agreements with historical associations, navigating governmental guidelines, and facilitating the smooth progression of complex historical builds. Our team will not only help you design and implement your restoration but also ensure that the process goes as quickly and smoothly as possible!

Preservation of Historic Authenticity

Historic buildings are a key part of our national and cultural heritage. Preserving them not only adds beauty and interest to our skylines but also protects a piece of our history for future generations.

In 1966, Congress established the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) to encourage the restoration and preservation of historic buildings for public benefit. Our team at ADC excels at updating and repairing historic buildings while preserving their historic authenticity.

Environmental Sustainability

The decision to renovate and restore an older building not only maintains our cultural heritage but also makes good economic sense and promotes sustainable building practices. Restoration makes use of existing construction, reducing waste materials and saving time and energy that would be spent on demolition.

At ADC, our experienced designers can assist you in planning the necessary modifications and updates to your historic building while keeping costs down. We have the knowledge and expertise to guide you efficiently through the renovation process, ensuring that your building meets modern requirements, codes, and energy efficiency standards while preserving its unique beauty and nostalgia.
