Developing confidence in building conservation
Training and mentoring combining the ethos of building conservation
with the performance of technology.
Would you like further training in historic building surveys?
This training is for anyone who wants to expand their knowledge, broaden their skill set, change career direction, or bring together technical training and life skills will benefit from this program.
The sessions will be delivered virtually by Ian Bullock and Stephen Boniface by MS Teams and pre-recorded for attendees to access as and when suits their schedule.

Brick Buildings:
You'll learn about the properties of brick as a building material, the construction methods used for brick buildings, and the challenges related to their conservation.
Damp & Moisture in Buildings:
Focused on understanding how moisture can affect the structural integrity of buildings, including issues like rising damp, condensation, and mould, and how to address these problems.
Structural Movement:
This will cover the reasons for and types of structural movement in buildings, including settlement, thermal expansion, and the impact of foundation issues.
Pre-War Buildings and Building Conservation:
The course will emphasise the importance of understanding older buildings, particularly pre-war structures, their unique construction methods, and how to conserve them for future generations.
This program aims to create a safe and encouraging community environment for a pleasurable learning experience.
Data Capture, LiDAR & Site Notes Management
-
Report Writing
You'll learn the best practices for writing reports, likely focusing on creating clear, comprehensive, and professional reports for assessing buildings and documenting their condition.
-
Mobile App Data Capture
This will introduce tools and techniques for using mobile apps to collect data on-site, perhaps involving forms, photos, and measurements.
-
LiDAR
You'll learn how to use Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology, which uses laser scanning to create detailed 3D maps of buildings and their surroundings, often used in conservation and analysis.
-
Site Notes
This part may focus on documenting observations during site visits, including taking detailed notes and using apps to track issues and progress in real time.
