Cultural resource compliance can require more than simply completing field surveys. SWCA’s cultural resources consultants have the expertise to support the high-level consultation and planning efforts that are needed to effectively manage important heritage resources.

Any number of firms can provide archaeological and historic architectural inventories—and at SWCA we are great at those too—but few can match the expertise that SWCA’s team can deliver when it comes to meeting advanced cultural resource management needs. Our consultants provide regulatory understanding and the consultation support skills needed to meet the cultural resources management and planning needs of any project, no matter how simple or complex. Our nationwide presence means that we have experts with local resource knowledge and experience working with local stakeholders wherever our clients’ projects are located.
