Historic Preservation Planning

Preservation planning documents, such as feasibility studies, preservation plans and historic structure reports, are often the first step towards restoration or rehabilitation. Such reports compile the history, conditions, and plan for the future of the site into one comprehensive document. 

These planning documents accompany historic preservation grant applications which KCA can can assist with as well as. KCA will also assist with historic research, and state and national register applications.

 Understanding the history, chronology and current condition of a site is critical in understanding the cause of its deterioration. KCA completes archival research including maintenance records, determines a site’s chronology, and provides the full range of on-site documentation including building condition investigations and non-destructive testing. Through these investigations, the best course for restoration can be determined.
