Sometimes those involved in caring for old buildings feel alienated by terms such as historic buildings, listed buildings, conservation areas and scheduled monuments. They feel as if they are being excluded by experts from taking care of their own properties. The Ulster Architectural Heritage Society (UAHS) is committed to the use of best practice but we want to empower owners to take good care of their buildings by providing them with access to information. The website will provide information and guidance for owners with access to more detail through direct links to other sources.

The UAHS is organising events for owners of old buildings and details of these will be posted on the website. These Owners Days will not be overly technical. They are designed to provide information for the owner who wants to know how to take good care of his building in the most cost effective way. As a networking event it is an excellent way of meeting other owners who understand the issues and can pass on practical advice.

Those who live in old buildings are caring for an important part of our heritage and keeping it in trust for future generations. Thank you for doing so. Please enjoy the website – we hope it helps you to care for your building and to enjoy living in it!
