There is a minimum order of five copies for this title

This handbook offers good practice guidance for site work in connection with the safe, economic and practical retention of existing façades. More comprehensive guidance for the overall process of façade retention is contained in the companion volume, CIRIA C579, Masonry façade retention - best practice guide.

The handbook is intended to be an essential part of site documentation for façade retention projects and is aimed principally at temporary works co-ordinators, planning supervisors, site agents and engineers and safety advisers. It contains checklists, lists of references and site-specific guidance taken from the more extensive guide (C579), together with additional material intended for use as site induction talks for site operatives. Its format is deliberately concise and is designed for use as a reference outside the office.

This book summarises the key issues relating to the erection and dismantling of façade support systems of different types. It also looks at the initial site activities and the procedures for alterations to the system once erected.
