A hybrid conference dedicated to best practice in the early stages of adaptive reuse projects through assessment, appraisal and design decisions

Understanding an existing structure is the starting point to any reuse or retrofit project. Effective assessment, investigation and appraisal are critical to evaluating and justifying the continued use of an existing building.
 
Structural engineers therefore play a critical role in making the case for, and breaking down the barriers to, the transformation of more existing building stock in place of new build.

Through sessions aligned with Plan of Work stages 0 - 2 the conference programme will address:

  • Justifying investigations

  • Establishing feasibility

  • ​Assessment methods, tools and techniques

  • Making early design decisions

  • Dealing with risk
