A condition survey plays an essential role in conservation planning and decision-making for historic places. But have you ever read a condition survey of an historic place and got to the end still wondering about cost, urgency, and the scope of work involved? This hands-on workshop introduces how a condition survey fits into the overall heritage conservation process and builds your understanding of:

*         the elements of a survey and why they are needed

*         building component parts and their characteristics

*         the basics of documenting defects and suggesting remedies
This workshop will build your capacity to undertake or manage surveys that are accessible and convincing, and that will serve as excellent planning, management and fund-raising tools for historic places.
Instructor: James Burton, MAIBC, is a partner in Birmingham & Wood Architects and Planners, a presenter with Heritage Vancouver's Old School Program, and a recipient of a City of Vancouver Heritage Award of Recognition for his work with the adaptive rehabilitation of historic buildings.

Cost: $125
