Building restoration engineering (BRE) is the practice of restoring buildings and structures damaged by natural disasters, fire, or human activities. BRE is a combination of building science, construction technology, architecture, civil engineering, environmental sciences, and historic preservation.

Building restoration engineering is the practice of restoring buildings that have been damaged by fire, flood, earthquake, or other natural disasters. Buildings that are restored may be repaired or rebuilt. Building restoration engineers work closely with architects, structural engineers, interior designers, building owners, contractors, and government agencies to ensure that the structure is safe and functional.

 A building restoration engineer designs and oversees construction projects that involve the repair or replacement of structures. These projects may include the design and construction of new buildings, additions, renovations, and repairs.
