ABSTRACT
The HeritageCare project (Interreg-SUDOE) has been launched to implement a methodology for the preventive conservation and maintenance of built cultural heritage in Portugal, Spain and France. Through a consortium joining public and private partners and associated entities, an integrated methodology for inspection, diagnosis, monitoring and preventive conservation of heritage constructions is being developed and tested. The methodology is designed according to three service levels of growing complexity: in Service Level I, qualified teams perform detailed on-site inspections. Specific reports with information about the building, an assessment of its condition and a preventive conservation record and schedule are elaborated and delivered to the owners. This paper addresses the selection of ten case studies in Andalusia conducted by the research team of the Andalusian Institute for Historical Heritage (IAPH), the implementation of the methodology, the elaboration of reports for the owners and the aspects and problems found during the process.
