Who this is for
Conservation architects, heritage contractors, conservation officers, surveyors, and anyone responsible for work on protected structures.
You work on historic or protected buildings and AI tools are starting to appear in your surveys, drawings and specifications.
You are the named professional who signs the work off, and you need to know where AI can and cannot be trusted near original fabric.
You want a short, honest grounding before deciding whether AI belongs anywhere near the building.
Pricing
Free, and short by design. A grounding for the people who protect the building, and the toolkit to govern the tools rather than be governed by them.
