Where it came from
Published in 2010 by Taylor & Francis, Surveying Historic Buildings was written by David Watt as a comprehensive guide for professionals and students involved in the conservation and maintenance of heritage structures. The text emerged during a period of increasing academic and professional focus on sustainable conservation, aimed at bridging the gap between traditional building survey methods and modern diagnostic technology. It serves as a technical manual for assessing the condition of existing buildings while respecting their historical integrity.
David Watt, a specialist in building conservation, designed the book to provide a structured methodology for inspection, reporting, and maintenance planning. The work draws heavily on established surveying standards, focusing on the identification of defects and the selection of appropriate investigative tools. Upon its release, it was received as a practical academic resource, lauded for its systematic approach to the complex challenges of preserving aging masonry, timber, and historical materials.
