The San Francisco and Monterey Bay areas have been — and continue to be — subject to intense pressures due to population increases and urban growth. Working with government agencies, private business interests, and the general public, we strive to provide solutions to complex local development questions that may affect our cultural and historic resources.

We conduct intensive historical research, establish historic significance when justified, and provide practical mitigation and preservation strategies that protect the physical culture and associated identity of our many diverse communities, while facilitating economic growth that increases livability and a sense of place for all.
