Oliver Caroe is an architect and consultant, specializing in ecclesiastical and historic buildings. His work and experience cover many sectors and include pure conservation to major commercial refurbishments, with a particular emphasis on the sustainability of existing and historic buildings. 

As an AABC-accredited specialist in conservation, Oliver has expertise in conserving, repairing and improving churches, from the medieval through to the Victorian.
