In a registered cultural property the process begins with documentation and ends with construction supervision. The pages below explain what each link in that chain is, when it is required and how it is carried out.
Measured Survey
A measured survey (rölöve) is the complete documentation of a building’s present condition through scaled drawings, photographs and reports. It is the first step of any intervention on a registered cultural property: restitution, restoration and reconstruction are all built on the data it produces.
Restitution
Restitution is not guesswork about a building’s original state but its evidence-based reconstruction on paper. Archival documents, building traces, period comparison and oral history are brought together to establish how the building stood in a given period.
Restoration
Restoration is the balanced intervention that opens a standing historic building to present-day needs while safeguarding its original material and workmanship. Every decision — which trace to keep, which decay to treat, which loss to complete — rests on documentation and the principle of minimum intervention.
Reconstruction
If your historic building has collapsed, the process is not over. With the right documentation it can be brought back into existence both legally and physically. Reconstruction is the rebuilding of the original configuration established by the restitution, together with current structural safety requirements.
Excavation Survey
When a building has collapsed entirely, a conventional measured survey is impossible. An excavation survey documents the foundation traces, floor levels and material remains revealed during controlled, layered debris removal, using archaeological excavation discipline.

We prepare measured survey, restitution, restoration and reconstruction projects across Türkiye — above all in Hatay and Antakya — and manage Regional Conservation Board procedures from a single hand.
