Although the basics of project management remain the same, the management and supervision of work on historic and traditional buildings poses different problems compared to modern or new structures. This 1-day course will cover the pertinent issues concerning historic and traditional buildings, and best practice for build quality strategies and processes. At the end of the day, you will be confident in your ability to successfully deploy project management and supervision to historic and traditional buildings.

From heat pumps to solar panels and power generation, micro renewables will be playing a larger part in the future as we move towards net zero. But what does that mean for Scotland's older buildings and homes?
We are dedicating a whole Inform Friday session to micro renewables in the historic environment after your many questions.
For traditional buildings, there are special considerations about these technologies. Learn more about how they can be integrated into older buildings in Scotland.
Historic Environment Scotland experts Roger Curtis and Kenney Easson will give you an overview of micro renewables in the historic environment. You'll have the chance to ask any questions you have live, or submit a question in advance by emailing technicalresearch@hes.scot.
No prior knowledge needed, we will cover the basics.
How to watch
The livestream event will be streamed for free on the Engine Shed Facebook page and Historic Environment Scotland YouTube channel starting at 12 noon. Make sure you’re logged in if you'd like to join the chat and ask questions.
We'll update this event listing with the livestream links a few days before so you can save them in advance, if you need to.
There's no need to book or register.
Can’t make it? You’ll be able to watch the full recording after on Facebook and YouTube.

A one day practical and theory based course designed to promote and improve your understanding of the use of lime based materials for older buildings.
Course Content: The course is split between two elements; theory and practical. Firstly, the course should provide you with an understanding of how lime works, where and when it can be used and the benefits this material offers solid walled construction. Secondly, it will provide you with practical demonstrations and training on how lime mortars are applied for various uses, such as rendering, plastering and pointing.
Details: The course is led by Phil Brown, the founder and Managing Director of Cornish Lime, who has over 40 years of experience within the construction industry with the majority of this time served working with and producing lime based materials. The course is held at our site on Old Callywith Road, Bodmin, Cornwall, PL31 2DZ.
Summary: No previous experience is necessary and by the end of this course delegates should have the confidence to understand how lime based materials work and how they can and should be used for construction work. The course attracts a wide and varied range of delegates ranging from homeowners, experienced contractors to building professionals and specifiers. Everyone should come away with improved knowledge and confidence of how lime works. Whilst we cannot teach you how to render or plaster in a day, we will provide you with a comprehensive literature pack, a basic safety pack and the continued technical support of our staff for any current and/or future projects you may be involved with.
