The Building Limes Forum exists to encourage expertise and understanding in the appropriate use of building limes and education in the standards of production, preparation, application and after-care.

The Building Limes Forum is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation with over 400 members in the UK and overseas, the majority being actively concerned with the repair of historic buildings or in the use of lime in new build. The Forum encourages debate amongst its members, not on the public pages of its website but through its journal, its newsletter, social media and by putting members in touch with each other so they can exchange views between themselves.

Every year, the BLF hosts an annual conference and gathering, where lime specialists, researchers, and enthusiasts from around the world gather to share the latest developments, projects, and more. Over the course of one weekend, delegates of all backgrounds will be welcomed into a friendly and supportive atmosphere where knowledge can be shared, skills can be passed on, and some incredible visits and dinners make for an unforgettable experience.
