Charu Chaudhry specializes in historic preservation, adaptive reuse, and building enclosure systems. She helps owners, architects, and institutions restore, rehabilitate, and adapt significant existing buildings.

Charu combines preservation philosophy with technical performance, constructability, and long-term asset stewardship. She uses this approach to guide façade assessments, repair design, and comprehensive restoration and renewal strategies.

Her expertise includes historic masonry, terra cotta, stone, metal, and curtain wall systems, roofing, waterproofing, façade rehabilitation, and the preservation of complex historic assemblies. She develops practical solutions that balance preservation requirements, technical performance, operational constraints, and resilience, often for occupied commercial, institutional, cultural, and mixed-use properties.

A frequent speaker and published author on preservation technology, masonry conservation, climate resilience, and historic building material behavior, Charu advances Thornton Tomasetti’s work in restoring existing buildings through thoughtful intervention, technical rigor, and innovation.
