About

Welcome to Australian Heritage Restorations (AHR), the leading provider of heritage restoration services in Australia.

Australian Heritage Restorations is a Newcastle-based business, owned and managed by Daniel Ricardo.

Commencing in 2003, the concept for the company was born out of restoration work on St. Thomas' Cathedral in Port Macquarie, where AHR was approached for expert advice on methods to restore the Cathedral. Since then, AHR has successfully introduced innovative methodologies and techniques to restore many Australian Heritage Buildings to their former glory. In providing consulting and project management services, AHR brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to any restoration project to which they are appointed.

The company has grown over the years to become a fully licensed heritage building company, having worked on projects such as the Sydney Opera House Main Entrance Hall, Bond Building, Quadrant on Broadway, Customs House, and Victoria Barracks.

AHR has built a strong reputation for providing high-quality restoration and remediation works, including complete building restorations, structural repairs, and adaptive use developments.

At AHR, we are passionate about preserving Australia's rich cultural heritage, and we are dedicated to ensuring that historic buildings are restored to their former glory and can continue to be enjoyed for generations to come. We work closely with heritage architects, engineering consultants, and our clients to ensure that all restoration and remediation work is completed to the highest standard.

Our commitment to safety is paramount, and we use accredited Integrated Management Systems to ensure compliance with workplace health and safety (WHS) legislation and construction industry best practices. Our team of highly capable heritage tradespeople and project managers use modern management tools to complete projects to high standards of quality and client satisfaction.

We take pride in our broad-ranging operations spanning the east coast of Australia, having conducted projects across NSW, Queensland, and Victoria. We offer a complete heritage restoration service, including building restorations, remedial works, structural repairs, and heritage project management services. Our specialties include brick, stone, and carpentry work, curing rising damp, earthquake strengthening and repairs, and adapting buildings for BCA Access and Egress compliance.

Trust AHR to bring history back to life and to deliver your heritage restoration project to the highest standard.
