Brief description of the consultancy firmThe idea behind the project was to deepen the professional knowledge of restorers in the maintenance and repair of shingled roofs by implementing the restoration work on the shingled roof of the belfry of the Kesälahti church and the associated restoration course. The project would increase the general appreciation of the care of the cultural environment and building tradition and strengthen the image and cultural identity of Kesälahti. Additionally, the intention was to strengthen the cross-border cooperation of the specialists of restoration, companies and, in particular, authorities. The project would utilise and increase expertise in shingle roofing on both sides of the border. In addition to the restoration work on the shingled roof and the restoration course, the concrete aims of the project were to design and implement a travelling exhibition about the restoration of the shingled roof of the Kesälahti church and to take it on a tour around Finland and the Republic of Karelia, and to organise an international seminar on shingle roofing. The aim was also to verify the true age of the shingle roofing of the belfry of the Kesälahti church with a dendrochronological examination and to create a publication about the phases of the Kesälahti belfry.
