It is fitting, therefore, that the company can offer expertise
in conservation of listed and ancient buildings.
Last year, the RIAS awarded Alasdair Alldridge accreditation
at Level 2 in the RIAS Conservation Accreditation scheme.
This meets the requirements normally laid down by Historic
Scotland and other conservation bodies regarding the training
and skill of project architects for grant-assisted projects.
In 2001, the acclaimed renovation of the National Trust
for Scotland's Balmacara Square development was completed.
Wittets led a design team that included archaeological survey,
lime-point and lime harl work, conservation of stonework
and the recreation of the pond, dam and laide at old Balmacara.
Over the years, many dozens of listed buildings have been
conserved or repaired. Currently the Company is working on
proposals to conserve Raasay House.
Our conservation work is based on special skills, technical
knowledge, applied research and respect for the building's
essential attributes. We do not encourage conjectural restoration.
