Focuses on age assessment, a key factor used in surveying buildings, carriying out valuations, calculating reinstatement costs and building defects. Broken down into 13 age bands, spanning the periods pre 1670 through to post 2000 with colour photographs of examples dwellings for each period. Each age band includes a commentary highlighting the social, economic and technical circumstances of the time.
