Sensitive civils
on listed & heritage sites

Heritage-sensitive projects require a different approach — careful sequencing, close consultant liaison and methodologies that protect the fabric of the site while still delivering to programme.

Civil engineering for listed buildings and historic landscapes

Heritage clients – trusts, estates and local authorities responsible for listed buildings and conservation areas – need contractors who understand that a method statement matters as much as the works themselves. Lawday plans groundworks, drainage and access alterations around consent conditions agreed with conservation officers and heritage consultants, protecting historic fabric and landscaping throughout construction.
Our project at Kew Gardens is a good example of this approach in practice: drainage works delivered within a highly sensitive setting, sequenced to avoid disruption to the site and its visitors.

Why heritage clients choose Lawday

Established relationships with heritage consultants & conservation officers

Existing working relationships that speed up consent discharge and pre-start agreement.

Bespoke methodology written for listed consent conditions

Every method statement written to the specific conditions attached to listed building or conservation area consent.

Careful, low-impact sequencing on occupied historic sites

Sequencing designed to keep visitors, staff and the historic fabric of the site unaffected.
