Preservation Maintenance: Understanding and Preserving Historic Buildings
March 21-22, 2012 |
Seminar Overview: Performing—or not performing—minor maintenance often can have unintended consequences. Learn how to read your building and understand the effects of daily, monthly, and annual maintenance activities between larger capital projects. Identifying, caring for, and maintaining historic materials is critical to this process. Discuss the nature of building materials, how they age, and how they fail. Learn when to bring in a specialist to help identify the problem or a contractor to handle a specific task.
This seminar is combined or offered in conjunction with Historic Structures Reports: A Management Tool for Historic Properties.
