Touring the Past—Sydney Heritage Consultants

Patrick has been absolutely amazing, working around out-of-business hours for urgent documents and amendments, delivering tight deadlines. His skills and knowledge are extensive within this field, which gave us peace of mind in preparing our DA submisison. It has been an absolute pleasure having Patrick helping out with our project and definitely recommend Touring the Past over any other heritage consultant in Sydney.

Patrick is an easy-going heritage expert with a scholarly approach. Our architect recommended him to us, and we liked him within 5 minutes of meeting and discussing the project. After considering our site, Patrick told us straight up what we could do achieve in renovating an old Victorian period row house. We appreciate the friendly and personal manner in which he approached our job. His help in developing our design concept into reality was invaluable. He gave us confidence right from our initial meeting in his heritage expertise, did what he said he would do and throughout kept us informed. We would not hesitate to recommend his services.

I've had the pleasure of working with Patrick over the past 12 months on a challenging renovation in North Sydney. Patrick's experience, professionalism and engagement has been exceptional. Heritage issues can be tricky and require a clear and knowledgeable perspective, and Patrick certainly has this approach.

Patrick is responsive and professional. Thanks for providing such a detailed report in a short timeframe. We are happy to receive great result from the Council. Thanks again and hope 2023 be another successful year for your business!

Patrick was a life saver for us. He was so quick to reply to our original enquiry, had a detailed knowledge of what was required and worked immediately to get our report finalized on a very tight deadline. Patrick was so helpful and addressed all areas of concern within our project. Patrick's reporting was exactly what we needed to help facilitate our construction, with a clear and detailed approach for both the certifier and the builder to easily note. We will definitely work with Patrick again, he will be our 'go to' heritage consultant for any other projects we complete in the future. We really appreciated Patrick's support and fast turn around, during our stressful construction process. Highly Recommended!

We engaged Patrick for a HIS required for a DA in Willoughby. Patrick was very knowledgeable about the conservation requirements and was able to give us the advice we needed specific to our council’s requirements. Patrick’s communication was excellent, he was flexible and happy to make any changes needed. It was a pleasure working with Patrick and we would highly recommend him.

Expert in the field, pragmatic, professional, explains things concisely and makes it easy for clients to understand and reasonably priced. Can't praise Patrick enough!

Patrick was a life saver for us as we did not know much about HIS report. We reached out to Patrick and sent through our plans and within no time had our report done to the specifications our council needed.would highly recommend Patrick to do your next HIS report

Patrick's recent help on a DA submission in Willoughby with his HIS and design advice was absolutely invaluable. He was quick to respond, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Obviously an expert in his field, we couldn't have done it without him. Thanks again Patrick!

Patrick assisted 2 projects for me so far, and each outcome was great. Responses to my enquiry promptly and propose us exactly what I require to go through the process including Development Application (DA) to the council. Flexible and quick return, highly recommended for his expertise in providing Heritage Impact Statement. He carefully review the building site and provides professional review with detailed summary while considering our design proposal. Look forward to work again with him.
