Discusses the challenges involved in restoring listed and heritage buildings. Surveyors working on such buildings usually need to take a differing approach to projects in other sectors, with more emphasis on clear objectives from the outset, obtaining the necessary approvals, and appointing the right type of specialist contractors. Another key problem is generating sufficient funding. Provides various examples of heritage restoration projects and outlines reform plans for heritage protection in England and Wales. Also briefly summarises heritage legislation in Germany and Australia.
