Heritage
SIMCO supports owners and managers of heritage buildings through inspection, condition assessment, and the design of structural strengthening, repair, maintenance, and rehabilitation strategies that meet current code requirements. These interventions are tailored to both the preservation of original functions and the thoughtful repurposing of heritage assets.
By combining precise structural characterization with a deep understanding of heritage materials, such as wood, masonry, stone, and concrete, SIMCO delivers durable, compatible solutions. Each intervention is carefully designed to preserve the building’s identity while ensuring full compatibility with existing materials and structural detailing.
