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.

Sustainable timber specification
2023-05-11 17:00 - 18:00 | Online via zoom, United Kingdom
The UK building industry consumes millions of tonnes of timber a year. Whilst in the past the sources of this timber were entirely unregulated, today greater awareness of the significant environmental damage thoughtless timber specification can cause has led to the introduction of many different certification schemes – some good, some not so good.
The speaker will demonstrate that experience has shown that just specifying ‘sustainable timber’ does not always lead to ‘sustainable timber’ being used.
The speaker is Charlie Law from PEFC, who has over 30 year’s experience in the construction sector and extensive industry knowledge having worked for BAM, Kier and Lendlease.
He is also Sustainability Director at Timber Development UK (TDUK) and a member of Grown in Britain Executive.
The session explains what schemes are available, and where they can go wrong and explores ways of designing out the risk of unsustainable timber being used in the first place.
We will also look at the use of timber in cladding. With timber being an increasingly popular choice as a sustainable material cladding we’ll explore the specific pitfalls associated with use.
