Residential & Private Property Owners
Helping Property Owners Document History During Projects
ACI helps property owners understand what that history may mean for planned construction, renovation, or land alteration, drawing on research, field investigations, and 50 years of expertise in cultural resources to answer questions and identify next steps. Whether our clients are planning work on historic resources or have discovered something unexpected on their land, ACI can help them understand what was have found — and how to proceed.
A Long History of Investigating Homes & Properties
Older homes, whole districts and properties have history that is not immediately visible, particularly when older buildings, archaeological sites, or burial grounds are involved. ACI helps clients determine whether cultural resources may be present, research the history of the property, and assess findings that come to light during construction or land alteration.
