Archaeology & Built Heritage
Our archaeologists, historians and geomatics experts balance the importance of cultural heritage with commercial awareness.
Our archaeological and built heritage experts have a detailed understanding of a site’s cultural heritage and how pivotal that is to sustainable placemaking.
We recognise that places must evolve over time but our consultancy ethos is rooted in combining respect for the past with an understanding of future site potential.
Working together, our trusted archaeologists, historians and geomaticians are committed to enabling developments with a strong sense of place and identity. Developments that sit sympathetically as part of the landscape and built environment and reflect our shared past.
Forward-thinking and creative, our archaeological and built heritage experts work collaboratively, providing community-led consultancy as well as working with partners across the private sector.
Our team has experience spanning heritage assets, scheduled ancient monuments and UNESCO World Heritage sites across the UK.
Our experts’ awareness and appreciation of the importance of heritage and its influence on the future, is a reflection of Civic’s system thinking ethos.
Passion for cultural heritage is balanced with a strong sense of commercial awareness and pragmatism, delivering effective advice and counsel to our clients.
