NIKU provides a broad set of skills in the field of building history and conservation. Key aspects include the cultural-historical value of buildings, their history, origin, style, context, and use.

Our interdisciplinary work combines practical experience and theoretic insight within the field of cultural-historical assessment, restoration, rehabilitation, and transformation of buildings.

We procure information about a building’s history and previous modifications through historic building recordings, literature studies and archive research. We also perform dendrochronological analyses of timber buildings and structures to indicate construction year and alteration history.
