January 2022 ~ RIBA CPD Showcase – Conservation and renovation

The buildings we cherish help define our place in the world. It’s therefore right that we protect important buildings, employ best practice and consult authorities (such as historic building officers) before embarking on their renovation. Where an existing building is not covered by listed or conservation area status however, is it any less important to make the best of it?
The RIBA CPD Providers Network members are all specialists in the protection, preservation, renovation and, yes – even modernisation – of existing buildings
