The IHBC’s Conservation Wiki service – offered through a partnership with Designing Buildings (DB), ‘The Construction Wiki’ – offers accessible ‘Quick-view’ summaries of key issues across our Newsblogs and other member information services.
… construction and development sectors increasingly look to conservation practice standards…
IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly said: ‘We’ve developed this Conservation Wiki to support construction sector practitioners that, typically, cannot easily access critical conservation information.’
‘This is especially important as construction and development sectors increasingly look to conservation practice standards that are essential in 21st century practice’.
‘The Conservation Wiki Homepage is now comprehensive and sophisticated enough to be used by the most active of IHBC members as a ‘Quick-view’ into what we’re doing to to support conservation practice in and beyond the IHBC.’
