Traditional Building Maintenance - morning only

Join us to learn about the practicalities of detailed and regular inspections of traditional buildings. We’ll share how a robust maintenance plan can stave off decay and expensive repairs.

A networking lunch will provide you with the opportunity to continue discussions.

For those who cannot join us in person, a virtual ticket is available.

You will:

1. Understand the basic principles and practical approaches underpinning sound management of Scotland’s traditional buildings.
2. Recognise the physical and economic benefits of having a formal maintenance programme managed by qualified operatives.
3. Understand the process of managing regular maintenance inspections for a traditional property, including the compilation of maintenance manuals and logbooks.

Who should attend?

We encourage graduates, heritage professionals and building practitioners from all disciplines interested in developing their knowledge and practice in traditional buildings to consider attending.

We also welcome anyone with responsibility for maintaining a traditional property, from architects, surveyors and building managers to fabric convenors, agents and homeowners.
