Green poster with text No. 294 RIBA Teesside CPD Snippets RIBA - Architecture.com Historic Buildings | VAT & Funding Summary Working on historic buildings can be complicated and expensive, clients often seek guidance on the logistics for projects. So, it’s useful to be able to explain the frameworks and point them in the right direction for specialist advice.
