Good management of archaeological risk can save huge amounts of time and money
Developers often encounter a number of constraints when working on site, caused by the discovery of archaeological remains – both above and below the ground.
Wardell Armstrong Archaeology has the expertise to guide developers through the
planning process when heritage and archaeology are constraints to development and
are well equipped to manage risks to development programmes in a timely and
cost-effective manner.
How to manage risk
The most obvious way to keep potential delays and future costs to a minimum is to commission a site survey before making any financial commitment to the land itself. Heritage impact assessment can assess the potential archaeological constraints within a development site.
Archaeological on-site evaluation can help to identify the potential for archaeological constraints within a development site, enabling the formulation of cost-effective and time saving responses.
Once a site is committed to, and archaeological or heritage items discovered, there are a number of specialist services that can minimise cost and delay.
