We set the standard for how historic buildings are documented

RC Monkeys exists to preserve, restore, and repurpose historic buildings by raising the bar for documentation across the United States. Our vision is to digitize every historic structure or landmark that is worth saving, so decisions are made with confidence, not guesswork.

Beliefs That Guide Our Work

[ 01 ]

Standards guide our work. Judgment governs it.

Our standards exist to produce reliable outcomes, not to replace professional thinking. Historic buildings present conditions that no checklist can fully anticipate.


We expect people to exercise judgment in pursuit of better outcomes and to make those decisions explicit so others can learn from them.

[ 04 ]

Technology supports performance. It doesn't replace it.

We do not chase tools for novelty. We master technologies only when they measurably improve performance and outcomes.


Results come from judgment, discipline, and execution, supported by the right tools, used well.

[ 02 ]

We are built to handle complexity.

RC Monkeys is ready, willing, and able to tackle difficult problems, obstacles, and unfamiliar conditions.


Complexity is not an exception. It is the norm. We do not avoid complexity. We surface it, communicate it clearly, and manage it responsibly.

01/

[ 05 ]

We are a learning organization by design.

RCM is composed of people who operate in learning mode, continually developing their judgment, technical skills, and clarity of thinking.


When better methods emerge, they are documented, shared, and integrated so the organization improves as a whole.

[ 03 ]

We grow by improving, continuously and deliberately.

We believe sustainable growth comes from constant refinement of our people, processes, and outputs.


Every project is an opportunity to improve how we work and how we serve our clients. Improvement is not incidental. It is expected, discussed, and applied.

[ 06 ]

We believe mastery makes work enjoyable.

We love what we do and have fun doing it. Not because the work is easy, but because we pursue mastery and take pride in doing it well.


When skill, clarity, and confidence come together, work becomes deeply satisfying.

Our Leadership Philosophy

Our Leadership Philosophy

RC Monkeys is led by people who believe organizations exist to produce valuable outcomes and should be customer-centric.

Leadership here is accountable for providing meaning, building operational systems, and developing people by turning ordinary capability into extraordinary performance. The goal is not growth at any cost, but competence at scale.

A Team Built
Around Excellence

Our team is composed of people who take responsibility for outcomes, think critically in complex conditions, and care deeply about the quality of their work and the performance of their team. We value judgment over compliance, learning over comfort, results over activity, and competence over mediocrity. Not everyone belongs here, and that’s intentional.
