In Specifications for Building Conservation, the National Trust
draws on a range of case studies and specifications to provide a
much needed guide to specification writing for building
conservation. Although traditional building accounts for
approximately a quarter of all buildings in the UK, the old skills
and understanding required for their care and maintenance have been
increasingly eroded over the last century. As the largest heritage
charity in Europe, the National Trust has a first class reputation
for high standards of conservation and care, and in this three
volume set, the Trust brings together a remarkable pool of
expertise to guide conservation professionals and students through
the process of successful specification writing. This first book
focusses on the materials used for the external fabric, detailing
successful approaches employed by the National Trust at some of
their most culturally significant sites. A range of studies have
been carefully selected for their interest, diversity and
practicality; showcasing projects from stonework repairs on the
magnificent Grade I listed Hardwick Hall to the re-thatching of the
traditional cottages of the Holnicote Estate. Complete with a
practical Conservation Management Plan checklist, this book will
enable practitioners to develop their skills, allowing them to make
informed decisions when working on a range of project types. This
is the first practical guide to specification writing for building
conservation and the advice provided by the National Trust experts
will be of interest to any practitioners and students involved in
building conservation, both in the UK and beyond. Profits generated
from the sale of this publication will go to the National Trust
Building Apprenticeship Scheme. This provides placements for
traditional skills at National Trust properties.
