CONSULTANCY

The root of the historic restoration trade lies in knowledge and experience of the historic work. Based on the unrivaled experience and training that our in-house consultants and specialists have, IFACS is the perfect choice for detailed reports on all manner of restoration and conservation.

Our specialists have been hired not only as consultants for historic buildings and museums, but also as special contributors on Hollywood movies and expert witnesses for high-profile court cases.

With a deep love for historic buildings and interiors, our consultants become intimately involved with every project, allowing training, experience and intuition to provide them with perspective that a simple background in art history is unable to provide.

We offer a full range of assistance with cost effectiveness of restoration and practical uses of restored property, design, historic listing, application for grants, sourcing of specialist sub contractors, use of property for media purposes and protection of the same during media exposure.

We are able to offer a state of the art spectrophotometric color study and analysis service.
