Historic preservation is far more than a construction activity—it’s a stewardship commitment. Every historic structure tells a story. Preserving that narrative requires not only sensitivity to architectural heritage but also a high level of technical execution, project leadership, and regulatory compliance.
This is where PQC Architectural Studio, LLC excels.
With award-winning experience in architectural restoration and construction management, PQCAS brings together a rare combination of architectural vision, preservation ethics, and construction execution, making it the firm of choice for historic preservation projects in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and selected international sectors.
What Sets PQCAS Apart in Historic Preservation Construction
1. Preservation-Driven Construction Expertise
At PQCAS, construction services are not treated as a secondary task. They are a core discipline—delivered with the same level of rigor and attention as design and planning. Our team understands traditional materials, historic methods, and how to integrate them with modern building systems without compromising authenticity.
2. Architect-Led Construction Management
Unlike typical contractors, PQCAS’s construction management services are led by licensed architects. This ensures that:
Design intent is protected throughout execution.
Historic character is preserved while meeting modern safety and code requirements.
Quality assurance is continuous, from demolition to final detailing.
3. Award-Winning Preservation Projects
Our recent restoration of the Puerto Rico Capitol Dome is a benchmark project. Completed under strict historic preservation standards, this project earned top honors from both the Colegio de Ingenieros de Puerto Rico and the American Concrete Institute—a testament to PQC’s excellence in preservation-led construction.
4. Full Lifecycle Project Delivery
From pre-construction assessments to final project close-out, PQCAS provides a turnkey solution that includes:
Condition assessments and historic documentation
Budgeting and phasing strategies for restoration
On-site construction supervision by preservation-trained professionals
Contractor coordination, compliance with preservation laws, and post-construction reporting
5. Regulatory Navigation and Public Sector Experience
PQCAS is highly experienced in working with local and federal preservation agencies, including the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture, State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), and National Park Service (NPS). We know how to align project goals with regulatory expectations—reducing risk, saving time, and ensuring long-term viability.
