The IHBC’s ‘Conservation Wiki’, accessible through the our Designing Buildings (DB) partner, targets construction sector users, and the top 20 posts for 2022 range from Hot-mixed mortars, PAS 2035 and building regs to the history of listed buildings.
… an essential target audience for us to engage to fully deliver our charitable benefits and services…
IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly said: ‘We’re delighted the main Designing Buildings user group – which extends across the construction sector – can so easily be directed to our work though our Conservation Wiki service. Though often – and sadly – only occasionally aware of conservation practice proper, they are an essential target audience for us to engage to fully deliver our charitable benefits and services.’
