They were joined by Richard Kirk from Work+ as they began to shape a draft paper on the scope of services for condition surveys of the government estate.

RSUA will draft guidelines on the use of NEC in conservation projects as part of its commitment to enhance the conservation knowledge and skills of architects and others.

RSUA will also consider issuing a call for expressions of interest, in conjunction with Queen's University Belfast and Richard Kirk regarding apprenticeships as a route to achieving a masters degree in conservation at Queen's University.
