Conserving our nation's heritage is widely promoted, but ensuring that those protecting it have the skills, knowledge and understanding is also fundamental and underpin the principles of the RICS Building Conservation Forum and SPAB (The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings). 

One important method to achieve this is via the re-enforcement of undergraduate and graduate training in traditional buildings, construction techniques and materials.  To support our new surveyors and other specialists in this field, not forgetting providing essential CPD (continuous professional development) opportunities to qualified members, we have since 2004, developed the annual 'RICS & SPAB Building Conservation Summer School - an introduction'.
