Day-to-day operating brief

What Heritage Consultant (Commercial) work looks like in practice

A Commercial Heritage Consultant advises developers, owners and public bodies on historic buildings, places, archaeology or collections. Terms should cover service lines, briefs, research, site visits, significance, planning documents, stakeholder consultation, subcontractors, fees, travel, confidentiality and conflicts. The consultant should not guarantee consent, tailor significance to a desired commercial outcome or present specialist structural, archaeological or legal conclusions beyond competence. Site records should identify weather, access limits, areas inspected and documents unavailable on the visit date. Where conclusions rely on client-supplied surveys or planning histories, the report should name that dependency so later users do not mistake an assumed input for independently verified heritage evidence. A commission may also require the consultant to separate verified evidence from professional interpretation, disclose documentary gaps and preserve an auditable trail from site inspection through archive research to the recommendation delivered to the client. Deliverables should identify the survey boundary and version of drawings assessed, preventing later design revisions from being mistaken for reviewed proposals.
