About
The Building Conservation Network is a UK-based online platform and community dedicated to democratising access to heritage restoration expertise. Designed for building conservation professionals, homeowners, and heritage enthusiasts, the Network connects users with specialists, offers technical insights and resources, and fosters collaborative project engagement—all aimed at preserving the UK’s built historic environment. Founded with the mission of making skilled building restoration, repair and conservation accessible to the wider public, the Network bridges the gap between demand and expertise. Whether you’re an owner of a listed building, a developer restoring period properties, or a craftsman specialising in traditional skills, the Network offers tailored support—from project listings and directories to peer advice and resource sharing. The core of their offering includes a Knowledge Base featuring articles on conservation methods, case studies, and emerging design approaches. This is enriched by a Directory of vetted specialists—from stone masons and timber conservators to structural engineers and heritage architects—making it easier for users to find professionals suited to their project needs. Community engagement is central: the Network hosts Discussion Groups, encourages project publishing (including photos, sketches, budgets), and supports consultation between homeowners and experts. Users can publish reviews, exchange technical insights, and form connections that drive successful, sensitive conservation work. Although the site currently lists no upcoming events, it has historically hosted webinars, lectures, and online talks on topics like Victorian architecture. The Network remains a dynamic hub for knowledge exchange, offering ongoing opportunities for professional development, inspiration, and practical support in heritage conservation circles.
