An interview with a seasoned architectural heritage consultant on the intricacies of working on heritage projects.
The insight she shares could save you many days of effort and doubt, as you would gain an understanding of the rules, difficulties, and risks involved if you ever have the opportunity to work on a heritage project.
About this Course
No-one is appointing you to make changes to a National Monument, but the next house you will be working on might just be older than 60 years... Buildings with heritage status come with a host of additional rules, but can be very fulfilling if you know how to go about it. This interview teaches you some of the tricks that might mean the difference between success and failure.
Some of the topics include:
- An explanation of the application process
- What should be included in a heritage report
- How to offer this as one of your architectural services.
- Is it for everyone or do you need a certain personality type?
- How much can you expect to get paid for this type of work?
- The Heritage Resources Act
