A\u00a0conservation event with broad appeal \u2013 & with no mention of conservation!
\nIHBC Director Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly welcomed the CIOB\u2019s \u2018undercover conservation\u2019 strategy, which is intended to help mainstream conservation methodologies without scaring the mainstream professions. \u00a0He said: “Many practitioners think that conservation is only for the high-end, listed property market. \u00a0In fact, conservation is about doing the right job properly, regardless of how fancy a building is, and not just doing the job the way you\u2019re told, just because the building is listed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lots of works on traditional buildings, however well done in themselves, can damage fabric in the long terms. \u00a0All parts of the construction industry need to understand that it\u2019s not just how well you do something, but that it has to be the right thing to do. \u00a0The new CIOB conference, using core conservation approaches in familiar contexts of good practice and green principles, is great way to get conservation to practitioners across the construction industry.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

IHBC Wales Branch vice-chair John Edwards IHBC, co-organiser of the conference, says: “There are some six million traditionally built structures in the UK and the vast majority suffer in the hands of the inexperienced, practicing inappropriate modern methods of repair instead of a much needed traditional conservation approach. For those not involved with listed buildings, the term conservation is very often seen as nothing to do with them! In order to get over this problem, the Chartered Institute of Building doesn\u2019t even mention conservation in their forthcoming major conference that largely focuses on building conservation as a means to practice a green approach to the maintenance of all buildings.”
