to, like, old, like, heritage surveyors is it's really easy to kind of go down the rabbit holes for your own interest but what does it really mean to your client and that's something i think about as well it's like does it really matter if it was built in 1720 or 1650 to my client probably that's

the thing that's the thing because we're not really looking at that are we we're looking at the condition of the building so yeah you know i i spend and i spend a lot of time doing some research because i have a history section in my report and i i include like old maps extracts of old ordnance survey maps And, you know, just to see how the building has grown and changed over time.

But I don't technically need to be doing that because that's not really part of the report.

We're just looking at the condition.

So you don't really need to be saying, oh, that door is Georgian or, you know, that paneling is 16th century.

And, you know, and then the building has been adapted this way and that way.

I mean, it's important to know.

And yeah, you don't mind being there for hours and hours and hours because it is just fascinating.
