Since our inception, SKA engineers have been engaged in highly complex and sensitive engineering projects on historic buildings, including churches, retail stores, higher education facilities, and government facilities dating back to the late 1700s. With an emphasis to preserve significant and timeless facilities from decades ago, SKA works with owners and users of these notable facilities to renovate them so they can delight users, visitors, and guests for decades to come. SKA’s engineers have the knowledge and experience to either restore these facilities to their former glory or make them operable and occupied once again.
