Lectures and Talks

 

I have been preparing and hosting lectures and talks since 2022. For part of this time, I was a Senior Lecturer in Building Surveying at Sheffield Hallam University. I have also prepared and undertaken lectures for other organisations including:

​

• The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB)

• SY Ecofit and ACAN

• CPD for surveying practices

• Local Authorities

​

Some examples of previous lectures I have prepared and delivered:

​

• Drones and drone surveying

• Roofing defects and remedial works

• Fundamentals of building inspection

• Internal fabric

• Building pathology

• Moisture/damp and related issues

• Natural building materials

• Traditional building materials and techniques

• Introduction to conservation philosophy 

• Planning, LBC and Conservation Areas

• Surveying traditionally constructed buildings

• Building works and upgrades

• The history of buildings

• Report writing

• Retrofit wrong 

​

My lecture material is generally based on what I have encountered during the last 20 years working in the built environment.
