#PreventativeMaintenance #Checklist to Protect Your Hotel’s #BuildingEnvelope via @BuildTransform

The British standard 6229: 2018 makes no mention of a minimum height for equipment on a roof. A congested roof can create massive challenges for building managers when it comes to undertaking repairs. Unfortunately, it is an area which is rarely talked about! Your thoughts?

We are proud to be carrying out external refurbishment work on the iconic Hilton Brighton Metropole designed in 1890 by Alfred Waterhouse. Developing from our detailed façade condition survey, identifying areas of concern and made recommendations for rectification of issues.

Before and after images (12 years apart: 2009/10 and 2022) of the former Leicester Great Central Railway Station, now @Lane7_ in the @greatcentralsq complex. A great restoration and example of what can be done with heritage buildings within a modern development.

Caring for buildings with historic significance is absolutely essential so that it can be enjoyed by future generations. Rope access services are the most effective in keeping the building’s façade and integrity intact. https://t.co/H7YQt5P6bH #historicbuildings @StoneFederation

Concrete and sustainability are words that are often considered incompatible. However, it doesn’t necessarily have to be that way. With the rise of innovative technologies and products, there are many ways to make concrete greener. https://t.co/DCD72QyqAP #NetZero #Sustainability

As buildings mature over time, they become vulnerable to different types of staining. Staining may stem from several sources and identifying the location, condition and colour are vital in diagnosing the key defects and methods of treatment. #staining #efflorescence

Beautifully designed #historical or modern buildings are often inaccessible. To ensure their proper maintenance, building owners/managers should turn to partners who can supply access solutions to test, inspect, and repair any section of the building fabric. #acces #safety

The most climate-friendly projects are net-zero. As part of our review of 2021, here are 10 examples of low-carbon architecture including buildings made of 3D-printed clay, recycled materials and biomaterials. https://t.co/BjXlfeN4RN #NetZero #architecture #architecturedesign

Building Transformation would like to wish Season's Greetings and Merry Christmas to everyone. We hope you all have a fun-filled day, full of celebrations and joy with your families and friends. #christmas #merrychristmas #santa #xmas #tree

With the worsening global climatic situation, achieving carbon neutrality has become a goal which the various stakeholders are actively pursuing to develop a carbon-neutral approach that is cost-effective and sustainable. https://t.co/Lz9LkAsSPy #sustainabledevelopment #facade

A limited amount of staining may actually increase the character of a building. Excessive staining, however, may look unsightly and cause significant damage to the building surfaces. https://t.co/k0wABsLAjH #staining #efflorescence #historicbuildings #preservation #winterishere

The construction industry is responsible for 40% of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions. Dr Danielle Densley Tingley is investigating how to make buildings more sustainable by reusing and recycling everything in them https://t.co/gHesrkTBGf #netzero #sustainable

If you're involved with heritage architecture or just interested in what's involved in restoring our historic structures, this latest blog from Stone Federation member, @BuildTransform is a great read. #NaturalStone #Heritage

Richard Rogers, known for designing some of the world’s most famous buildings has died aged 88. The Before/after images of the London skyline show his contribution towards a compact, #sustainable, pedestrian-friendly city https://t.co/GKUYKmSdMx #architecture #pioneer

For many centuries, limestone has been a popular exterior stone for buildings in the UK. Restoring limestone is easier as it is softer than other stones but at the same time tough and durable. https://t.co/XkEwAuTrRf #heritagebuildings @StoneFederation #historicbuildings

Understanding the existing condition of the external building envelope at a high level provides essential information to help develop specifications, prioritise key actions and repair activities. https://t.co/lKrZ9U5nf3 #conditionsurvey #winterishere #roofmaintenance #facade

The built environment can play a major role in creating a circular economy. In the UK, construction, demolition and excavation account for 60% of material use and waste generation. #sustainability #NetZero #recycling

Buildings need regular inspection to check for potential issues and to prepare them for inclement #weather. Defects discovered and repaired in time will help you avoid a potentially much larger cost in the future. https://t.co/HqqNT6WZVb #roof #gutters #Maintenance

Stress, weathering, deposition of organic/inorganic material and pollution may deteriorate the building envelope. Identifying the symptoms is vital in protecting your property and mitigating the overall risks. https://t.co/qzVOtCQUEq #corrosion #pollution #winterishere
