Capital Conservation Services
EST. 2018 · OTTAWA
Capital Conservation Services is a specialist heritage masonry conservation practice based in Ottawa, Canada. Since 2018, our team has been entrusted with some of the country's most significant built-heritage assets — from the Centre Block of Parliament to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, from a 17th-century National Historic Site to public monuments and fountains across Canada.
We work for federal departments, provincial governments, major architecture and engineering firms, general contractors, institutions and private property owners. Each engagement is led by a senior masonry conservator with CAPC certification, supported by intermediate and junior conservators trained within our practice.
Our discipline is rooted in the Standards & Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada and the CAC Code of Ethics & Guidance for Practice for Those Involved in the Conservation of Cultural Property in Canada. Every intervention is documented, reversible where possible, and grounded in research of the asset's history.
Documented as-found condition, archival research, mortar analysis and orthoimagery. We tell you what's actually wrong before recommending intervention.
Every design choice prioritizes the original fabric. Replacement stone is sourced only when conservation is impossible.
Mylar overlays, BIM tracking, weekly reports, final compliance packages. Future conservators inherit a complete record.
Where the standards allow it, every intervention is designed so a future generation could reverse it. The asset belongs to the country, not to us.
