Squillace Architects
This project received approval from the City of Sydney to adaptively reuse a former Presbytery for commercial offices and a courtyard cafe. A typical condition of consent includes, ‘Use of Heritage Consultant’, particularly during the construction stage.
This may include for the ‘induction’ of trades on to the site to ensure they are aware of the sensitivities of the heritage fabric and to ‘tread carefully’.
The heritage consultant in this role, was required to make regular inspections of the works under construction, and to answer any queries the builder and architect may have, often on details of how to finish off new work adjacent to the original fabric.
On completion, the heritage consultant provides a photographic report, explaining how the heritage conditions of consent have been met with completion of the building.
