Architecture & Preservation
Condition Assessment
Thorough on-site evaluation of existing materials, structure, and systems — establishing a clear, documented baseline before any work begins.
Preservation Planning
Strategic planning that balances the integrity of historic fabric against the practical requirements of current and future use.
National Register Nomination
Research, documentation, and preparation of nominations for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
Survey & Inventory
Systematic recording of historic resources to support planning decisions, grant applications, and regulatory compliance.
Design Development
Iterative design work refining scope, materials, and detailing in close collaboration with owners and skilled craftspeople.
Construction Drawings
Precise technical drawings and specifications that communicate the full scope of work to contractors and review agencies.
Construction Administration
On-site oversight and coordination throughout construction to ensure work is executed as designed and to the highest standard.
Small Project Management
Not every project calls for the full architecture process. For smaller tasks such as targeted repairs and focused restorations — 5/4 offers direct project design and planning management.
