RICS writes:
This conference programme has been designed by the RICS Building Conservation Forum in conjunction with the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB). Now in its tenth year, this unique hands on introduction to building conservation aims to reinforce the principles of the RICS Building Conservation Forum and SPAB with a view that those that conserve our nation’s heritage will have the necessary skills, knowledge and understanding to ensure its protection.
This event aims to reinforce undergraduate and graduate training in traditional buildings, construction techniques and materials, as well as support new surveyors and other specialists in this field, plus providing essential continuous professional development (CPD) opportunities for qualified members.
The summer school spans five days and you will have the opportunity to choose from full days of lectures to case studies and hands on workshops. As well as a series of seminars from leading experts in the field, you will have the unique access to a practical one day workshop about lime mortars, plastering and pointing. Students and trainees will also take a day trip to the nearby incomplete 19th Century Gothic Masterpiece Woodchester Mansion.
Here you will be asked to put into practice some of the aspects learnt throughout the school. Full time places at the summer school are limited to 50 and will be awarded on a first come first served basis.
