| Listed Building Surveys (2) Common problems encountered when surveying a listed property... and how to avoid them by Martin Hall
The most serious issue in old houses could be summed up in one word – damp, although this is not the only problem of course. It is the enemy of most buildings, and we see it a lot whilst on survey.

| Surveying a Grade 1 Listed Grotto by Tony Rogers BSc FInstCES
Laser Scanning has become a relatively well established technique for surveying over the past few years but in some cases there are no tangible benefits to using scanning over traditional survey techniques because the additional deliverables such as the scan data, scan images and 3d drawings/models are not required by or have not been offered to the end client. This survey is an example of a project that was not only specified by the client as needing scanning, but that the scan data would constitute the main deliverable. It also shows how it is important to consider the project and be prepared to combine using different scanners and traditional survey to achieve the best survey result.

| Surveying the Globe by Tony Rogers BSc FInstCES
The original Globe was built in 1599 but burnt down in 1613 during a performance when a theatrical cannon misfired and ignited the timbers and thatched roof. Despite being rebuilt it was, like all other London theatres, closed by the Puritans in 1642 and finally demolished in 1644. Shakespeare’s Globe, as it is known today, was instigated by Actor and Director Sam Wannamaker. His vision finally brought about the recreation of the Globe based accurately upon an Elizabethan design in 1977. It is sited on the south bank of The Thames only 200m from its original location and was the first thatched roof building permitted in London since the Great Fire of London in 1666.
