TRADITIONAL BUILDING AND CONSERVATION SKILLS AND TRADES MEATH REGISTER 2014 In dealing with a historic building for anything other than routine maintenance, professional input is essential and tradesmen with traditional skills are needed. Using incorrect, inappropriate or unnecessary methods and materials can do a great deal of expensive damage. The list below is not comprehensive and is being continually updated. The inclusion of a professional consultant, craftsman or tradesman on this list is not an indication of Local Authority approval of their skill or experience, merely that they have represented themselves as having such skills. A list is available also on the website of Heritage Contractors, www.heritageregistration.ie/ and Irish Georgian Society, www.igs.ie/ Updated 11th March 2014

ARCHITECTS (either specialising in particular aspects of conservation, or working regularly in Meath – please refer to the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland website for a full list of practioners) RIAI Conservation Accreditation System

To assist Consumers in the selection of a Practice to provide them with professional services in architectural conservation, the RIAI developed an accreditation system to recognise differing levels of specialist expertise.

There are three Grades of Accreditation, Grade I being the highest and Grade III the basic entry level to the System.

RIAI Conservation Architect/Practice Grades I and II

An Architect or Practice accredited at either of these Grades has been assessed by an expert Accreditation Board which carries out a rigorous in-depth evaluation of the specialist qualifications, expertise and experience of the applicant. The difference between Grades I and II relates to the length of experience, the level of expertise, and the nature of the buildings. To be accredited as a Conservation Practice at Grade I or II the practice must have on its staff at least one architect of the relevant Grade, or have been assessed and accredited by the Accreditation Board on the basis of its collective track record.

Architect/Practice Accredited in Conservation at Grade III.

An Architect accredited at Grade III is not assessed by a Board, but must attend an RIAI Conservation Induction Module covering basic general information on the principles and practice of conservation, and successfully complete an Assessment Exercise. To be accredited at Grade III an Architectural Practice must have at least one owner – a ‘Partner’ or ‘Principal’ – who holds accreditation at Grade III.

An Architect accredited at Grade III is expected to have a good general understanding of the legislation, philosophy and technical requirements, but not to have the range of expertise to carry out all the tasks undertaken by Grades I and II.

The RIAI Conservation Induction Module (the requirement for Grade III) was introduced in 2001 as a means of providing RIAI architects and architectural practices with skills in conservation which were not included in architectural education and training in the past but which developments in legislation have made essential for any practice. This is now regarded as the basic level of expertise that every architect should possess.

The basis for conservation is the belief that the original materials are important and thus worth the effort of conservation. We hold that best practice in stained glass requires that where possible, and when practical, all the original materials of a window are retained.
