If so, you have two choices &#8211; either to turn the job down or try and shape the proposal to make it acceptable\u2026.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Advice on offer in this new Guidance Note covers \u2018Providing fee proposals\u2019, \u2018Early warning signs and Red Flags\u2019 and much more.<\/p>\n<p>IHBC Director Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018IHBC Guidance Notes are produced as part of an integrated resource offering online support for conservation practitioners, the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ihbconline.co.uk\/toolbox\/index.html\">IHBC\u2019s \u2018Toolbox\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Our Toolbox helps inform, advise and guide anyone with specialist interests in built and historic environment conservation.\u00a0 There is a wide range of basic resources \u2013 the \u2018tools\u2019 in the toolbox \u2013 on open access, from primary research and guidance produced by or on behalf of the IHBC.\u00a0 And all align with the technical, academic and practice advice and standards supported or endorsed by the Institute.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Toolbox_icon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-11125\" src=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Toolbox_icon.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"63\" height=\"58\" \/><\/a>See all the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ihbconline.co.uk\/toolbox\/index.html\">ToolBox resources<\/a>, see more Guidance Notes in the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ihbconline.co.uk\/toolbox\/guidance_notes\/index.html\">Toolbox<\/a>\u00a0and read the <a href=\"https:\/\/ihbconline.co.uk\/toolbox\/guidance_notes\/tenredflags.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Guidance Note on \u2018Ten Red Flags\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The IHBC\u2019s latest Guidance Note on our online Toolbox aims to provide sole practitioners and small traders with advice on taking on new work, offering \u2018Ten Red Flags\u2019 to watch out for when meeting potential clients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ihbc-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20854","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20854"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20854\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20862,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20854\/revisions\/20862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
