Understanding Building Conservation – its meaning, understanding and implementation

Publisher: CIOB

Building conservation covers more than just ‘historic’ buildings and those built using traditional methods. Its applicability covers buildings that are vapour permeable, and buildings that receive special protection due to the significance attributed to them, e.g., they have artistic value, symbolic value or economic value for example.

This publication describes what building conservation means and it includes work examples and case studies to explain what’s involved in the overall process. It covers the various ways to inspect and analyse building significance, how to ascertain a buildings construction and the condition that it’s in. It looks at ways to develop, assess, implement and audit, conservation interventions and how to maintain and manage it after conservation activities have been completed.

As well as describing the processes above, it also touches on the competencies needed by those involved in conservation.

This Technical Information Sheet was authored by Professor John Edwards who presented on ‘The Conservation Process’ at the International Built Heritage Conference in Malta in November 2022.

Construction Claims: A Short Guide for Contractors

Author: Paul Netscher, Publisher: CreateSpace

Most construction projects, no matter how well planned and managed, will have changes and delays. Some contractors don’t claim these changes and delays because they don’t understand the variation claim and change order process, or because they don’t want to upset their client. Why would you work for free? Regrettably also many claims end in lengthy and expensive legal disputes.

Paul Netscher has 30 years’ experience in the construction industry and had variation claims and change orders on almost all his 100 projects which he settled amicably with his clients, even when some change orders doubled the price of the project and substantially increased the duration. In his easy to read book

‘Construction Claims: A Short Guide for Contractors’ Paul demystifies the variation claims process. Without referencing a particular contract form the book discusses when contractors can claim a variation.

The book also discusses the importance of negotiating the claim after it’s submitted. Paul believes that the contractors construction project manager should play an active role in managing the variation claim process and not leave this to supporting staff or lawyers.

Construction Claims: A Short Guide for Contractors is available from Amazon in paper and ebook or Kindle format, as well as from other online stores.
