Fire doors
Ahmarra
Fire doors are an integral part of a building’s passive fireproofing plan. They’re used for fire compartmentation – a process that places physical barriers in strategic areas around a building, in order to slow the spread of flames and smoke in the event of a fire. In this post, we explain what they’re made out of, how much protection they offer, and when they’re required by law.

Fibre reinforcement to plasters – problems associated with natural hair and alternative fibres, natural and synthetic.
2022-04-06 17:00 - 18:00 | Online, via Zoom, United Kingdom
Mortar analysis
Tom Balch, Rose of Jericho
Animal hair has been added to strengthen and reduce shrinkage in lime plasters for centuries. This reinforcement is particularly important when applying basecoat plaster to laths (especially ceiling laths) as it reinforces and strengthens the crucially important nibs from which the ceiling plaster ‘hangs’. The first ‘pricking-up’ coat traditionally contains hair reinforcement at a rate of at least 8kgs/m3 (c.4kgs/tonne). Subsequent coats to lathwork and all coats to solid backgrounds normally have hair added at the reduced rate of 5kgs/m3 (c.2.5kgs/tonne).
Hay and straw were sometimes used as alternatives, but the vast majority of traditional basecoat plasters were reinforced with animal body hair from horse, cow, pig or goat. When examining dry historic plaster it is normal to find hair reinforcement present and apparently in good condition. However, recent analytical work is suggesting that some degradation and loss of tensile strength can occur over time.
This degradation appears to occur more rapidly in currently available animal hair. The vast majority of animal hair is now imported in neat bundles from countries where anthrax is a problem, and the hair is cleaned and sterilised in the country of origin to ensure any bacteria spores are destroyed. This treatment, which can include boiling and/or steam treating, appears to decrease the resistance to degradation and reduce the durability of the hair in the alkali lime environment. It is thought the protective keratin proteins and natural oils in the animal hair are depleted during the sterilisation treatment.

Insolvency Recovery Planning
2022-06-30 17:00 - 18:00 | Online, via Zoom, United Kingdom
Insolvency recovery planning
An Insolvency Recovery Plan provides a structured template to pre-plan for an insolvency event. The plans act like a ‘lifeboat drill’ to ensure that the protection measures are adequate – and that everyone in the team knows how they work.

They can be prepared at any stage of a development project – it’s never too early or too late to instigate a recovery plan. They can be prepared prior to works commencing on site, during the course of the works – or even after an insolvency event has occurred.
Speaker – Richard Winson, Proptech
Richard is an experienced chartered surveyor, with a specialist knowledge of lending risk relating to construction companies and property developments. He has worked within a range of different industry sectors – including property development, residential construction, specialist sub-contracting, and global telecoms.
For the last 20 years Richard has specialised in construction corporate recovery & insolvency, property development lending risk, surety (performance bond) loss-adjusting, and business performance / security reviews.

Insolvency recovery planning
2022-10-06 17:00 - 18:00
Insolvency recovery planning

The insolvency of a Principal Contractor or a key supply-chain partner part-way through a project can have devasting consequences. An insolvency event can result in significant financial losses, build quality issues, and widespread delays and disruption.
Many of these issues can be mitigated by effective planning and ensuring that the protection measures will perform as expected.
What is an Insolvency Recovery Plan?
An Insolvency Recovery Plan provides a structured template to pre-plan for an insolvency event. The plans act like a ‘lifeboat drill’ to ensure that the protection measures are adequate – and that everyone in the team knows how they work.
They can be prepared at any stage of a development project – it’s never too early or too late to instigate a recovery plan. They can be prepared prior to works commencing on site, during the course of the works – or even after an insolvency event has occurred.
Speaker: Richard Winson FRICS, Protech Analytics
Richard is an experienced chartered surveyor with extensive knowledge of property development risk and insolvency advisory. Richard has assisted insolvency practitioners with the ‘clear-up’ operations of several hundred contractor insolvencies – ranging from ‘one man band’ companies – right up to national construction companies.
The company has developed a series of proprietary due-diligence risk platforms to compliment traditional surveying skills. The platforms provide an effective ‘war room’ analysis of the projects, and the performance of the associated supply-chain. The company provides a common-sense, reliable and trustworthy service.
Protech Analytics carries out specialist due-diligence services for a wide range of clients. These services cover property development projects, principal contractor & sub-contractor business / performance reviews and ‘health-checks’.
We can also offer:
• Contractor due-diligence for pre-qualification, lending, & M&A
• Project monitoring services and development risk due-diligence
• Risk workshops and training events
• Supply-chain monitoring

He has acted as a consultant for RICS, representing RICS on the Council of Mortgage Lenders Valuation Panel and undertaking a range of project work within the Residential Professional Group.

During 2012 Philip led the cross-industry working group which produced the RICS Information Paper on Japanese Knotweed and Residential Property and helped to facilitate the establishment of the Invasive Weeds Control Group under the auspices of the Property Care Association (PCA).

Most people take for granted that trees are an important part of our residential environment while, as professionals, we recognise that they can influence values and physically impact on structures. But do we appreciate them as distinct individuals? There are three good reasons why we should:

Clients should be advised appropriately about implications for prospective ownership;
The courts expect us to be able to identify certain species which may pose a risk to buildings;
There is a simple pleasure in being better informed about our natural surroundings!

Using numerous illustrations, this session will explain how to easily identify some of the most common species of trees, with a focus on those which pose a particular risk to buildings. It will also explain why February is an ideal time of year to start improving skills at tree identification.

In 1999, Lucy started her own sustainable architecture practice, archipeleco, designing buildings that have a low impact on the environment. In 2005, Paul McWilliams joined archipeleco to then create develeco limited, a company exclusively self-funded to offer refurbishments of existing buildings – usually in very poor condition – and transform the properties into sustainable, beautiful buildings fit for 21st century living.
