CPD: Structural Repairs to a Historic Townhouse

Thursday, 27th March | 1:00 – 2:00pm | In-person at 54 Bell Street, G1 1LQ and online via Zoom 

Join GCHT for a CPD session exploring the complex structural repair of 8 Belhaven Terrace, a B-listed townhouse designed by James Thomson in the 1860s. The project architect,  Bill Coltart of Coltart Earley Architecture, will discuss the severe structural failure which caused the rear elevation to bulge outward, ultimately requiring the wall to be completely rebuilt from the second floor up. 

Attendees will learn about the challenges of stabilising historic masonry, addressing water ingress and rot, and managing projects to allow residents to remain in-situ. 

£10 per person / £5 for students (Light lunch provided)

 

All sessions are recognised by the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC) as being capable of contributing to the obligatory CPD requirements of Full Members (see www.ihbc.org.uk)
