We are recognized for our “less is more” approach when it comes to planning, design and execution, in an effort to bring a building to modern standards while conserving their character defining elements.
We work with General Contractors.

Upfront costing, value engineering, planning, accurate schedules and safety compliance are key services we provide to help build a trusted relationship with your team.

Our Services
CHC provides a wide range of services specific to the conservation of heritage projects.
Project Advocacy
We know how challenging it can be to get a heritage project off the ground.
Our Team works with you to develop your project, identify and develop grants to support your vision, and can connect you to a community of passionate advocates and stewards of heritage in your city.
Specialized Trades
From fabrication and restoration of period specific windows, metal work and millwork, to painting and finishing, our team of craftspeople have the honed skills to bring a structure back to its original glory, preserving it to showcase its history.
Project Management
Our team can manage your project from start to finish. Our attention to detail throughout the construction process means that you can take comfort knowing that the end result reflects your original project budget and goals.
Window & Door Manufacturing
At CHC, we manufacture and restore period specific windows and doors. Fabricated from select FSC certified solid wood, both our restored and new windows and doors have been tested to the highest ASTM standards.
When combined with traditional Linseed Oil Paints, our products are not only built for generations, but allow the user to easily maintain and service them. This is our commitment to green standards.
Education
Heritage conservation is dependent upon skilled and knowledgeable craftspeople, and communities that understand the value of preserving our physical history.
CHC provides support and trades training to those interested in conservation. We also work closely with communities to provide education on the integral role heritage plays in our cities.
