Heritage Protection Group

What Heritage Protection Group does

Heritage Protection Group is a privately held engineering consultancy headquartered in Middlebury, Vermont (United States), that describes itself as an "international consortium of experienced engineers and consultants focused on fire protection, life safety." The firm operates at a micro-scale, with 1-10 reported employees, and is led by President Nick Artim. Its positioning centers on technical consulting services in the fire protection and life safety engineering domain, a regulated specialty that serves building owners, architects, developers, code officials, and institutional clients needing code-compliance, risk assessment, and life-safety design support.

No proprietary products, software platforms, training pipelines, or recurring service products are disclosed in the available data. The website (hpg-vt.com) is the primary public-facing asset, although the captured site content does not provide additional operational detail beyond the firm's positioning statement. There is no evidence of disclosed revenue, pricing models, customer logos, partnership arrangements, or contracted client base.

The implied business model is professional services delivered on a project or hourly basis by senior practitioners, consistent with how small specialty engineering consultancies typically monetize. The "international consortium" framing suggests that member engineers may participate across borders on specific engagements, but the underlying delivery model is not documented. Given the absence of disclosed financials, headcount trajectory, and customer data, all forward-looking assessments (revenue, growth, customer concentration) carry low confidence and should be re-evaluated as additional primary-source data becomes available.
