Episode 6 with Dave Smith

In this episode of Roughcast, we’re joined by Dave Smith of Smith Heritage Surveyors to talk all things heritage buildings.Dave shares his experience working on heritage properties, the importance of understanding how buildings were originally designed to perform, and how poor interventions can create long-term issues.We also touch on industry standards, honest reporting, and the challenges surveyors face when dealing with clients, contractors, and expectations around older housing stock.As always with Roughcast, it’s a straight-talking conversation, no scripts, no fluff, just practical insight (and a few laughs along the way).If you work in surveying, property, or just want to better understand how older buildings behave, this one’s well worth a listen.
