Although traditional building accounts for approximately a quarter of all buildings in the UK, the old skills and understanding required for their care and maintenance have been increasingly eroded over the last century. As the largest heritage charity in Europe, the National Trust has a first class reputation for high standards of conservation and care, and in this three volume set, the Trust brings together a remarkable pool of expertise to guide conservation professionals and students through the process of successful specification writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis first book focusses on the materials used for the external fabric, detailing successful approaches employed by the National Trust at some of their most culturally significant sites.

It will also serve as a general reference book for any surveyor working with historic buildings. In addition to its value as a technical handbook, the profits from sales go to support the National Trust building apprenticeship scheme. This helps to foster the transfer of knowledge and experience to the next generation, with hands-on experience and training within the direct-labour teams employed by the National Trust.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJanice Gooch, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003ci\u003earchitectural historian and building surveyor, Context 154\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface, Introduction, \u003cb\u003ePart I: Conservation Philosophy and Principles\u003c\/b\u003e, 1.
