Services

Our services are designed to support responsible development, heritage protection, and informed decision-making across the Sunshine Coast and Vancouver Island. We work with clients, communities, and partner organizations to provide practical archaeological guidance at every stage of a project, from early planning and assessment through permitting, fieldwork, reporting, and long-term stewardship.

Assessments and Permitting
We provide archaeological consulting services for projects across the Sunshine Coast and Vancouver Island, helping clients meet BC regulatory requirements while protecting archaeological resources. Our services include Preliminary Field Reconnaissance (PFR), Archaeological Overview Assessments (AOA), Archaeological Impact Assessments (AIA), Site Alteration Permit (SAP) applications, archaeological monitoring, reporting, and project support to identify risk, guide planning, and manage potential impacts to archaeological sites.
Planning & Training
We provide archaeological monitoring, chance find procedures, reporting, mapping, and regulatory support for projects across the Sunshine Coast and Vancouver Island. Our team helps clients manage archaeological requirements during construction, respond appropriately to unexpected discoveries, prepare clear technical reports and site mapping, and navigate work with government, research, academic, and funding partners. We also offer Resources Information Standards Committee (RISC) training and practical guidance to support responsible fieldwork, compliance, and project planning in Coastal BC.
Heritage Support
We work with First Nations to support community-led heritage planning, archaeological review of land and resource decisions, and the protection of culturally important places. Our services may include technical advice on development referrals, collaborative fieldwork, site stewardship planning, archival and spatial research, community-based training, and support for projects involving cultural heritage, research partnerships, and long-term land management priorities across the Sunshine Coast and Vancouver Island.
