Specialised bespoke heritage planning services
Our comprehensive knowledge enables us to offer competitively priced tailored services for all your heritage planning needs. Each service is designed to meet the specific requirements of our clients, ensuring that heritage considerations are fully integrated into the planning process.
Commitment to flexible support
At the heart of our philosophy is the understanding that heritage planning does not conform to standard office hours. Recognising that clients often need advice and assistance beyond the traditional 9-to-5 schedule, we are dedicated to providing a comprehensive support service. Our team is available seven days a week, ensuring that clients have access to expert guidance whenever it is required. Importantly, this extended availability is offered as part of our standard service, with no additional charges for out-of-hours support.
Development site setting-out services – commercial & archaeological
We provide a comprehensive range of development site Setting-Out Services which cover all archaeological, construction and civil engineering works. Our surveyor has 10 years of experience using Total Stations and GPS to deliver precise, reliable, and efficient setting out. Prior to commencing a project, we carefully review all drawings to ensure designs are fully coordinated and feasible. Our surveyor is experienced in raising RFIs and performing quality checks to ensure all work is accurate, up-to-date, and compliant with project requirements .

Building trust through client relationships
We take great pride in the fact that we do not rely on advertising to attract new business with over 90% of our work coming from client satisfaction, leading to referrals and repeat commissions. Our reputation for delivering quality results has established strong relationships with architects, builders, and previous clients, who repeatedly choose our services for their heritage planning needs.
Geographic focus and specialisation
While we undertake projects across England and Wales, our primary area of operation is within Southern England and surrounding counties. This regional focus has enabled us to develop a deep understanding of local heritage issues and planning requirements, positioning us as specialists in heritage planning within this geographic area.
Our commitment to the highest professional standards
All staff members at AS Archaeology and Heritage Services are required to hold membership with the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA) at a level appropriate to their skills. Furthermore, every project is overseen by a fully accredited Member (MCIfA) of the Institute, ensuring adherence to the highest professional standards. As a company managed by a MCIfA post-holder, we are bound by the CIfA Code of Conduct, reinforcing our commitment to ethical practice.
