Description: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.

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.
