Making the property recession work for you – assessing viable sites and developments
Category: Development and Procurement
• This BRAND NEW 1 DAY COURSE will appeal to all who have an interest in putting viable development sites together in ‘a period of quiet reflection’ (AKA a recession).
• It is generally accepted that we are in the worst property market and recession since the 1930’s BUT, managed properly, this can be a period of consolidation and preparation for the inevitable ‘bounce back’.
• Developers, Local Authories and Land Owners can use this time to assemble sites and prepare development ready for the return of the market. Sites which are ‘oven ready’ for the right market sectors will be first to get the end user/finance and will thus be the first to get the cream of pent up demand.
• History shows that those who wait and start late are often left with the crumbs.

Do you know your CDM Regulations?
03/09/2010 10:48:31
The British Property Federation and the Construction Clients' Group issued a report in July 2010 revealing that two thirds of companies commissioning construction services have no knowledge whatsoever of the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations. These regulations - commonly referred to as the CDM Regs and updated in 2007 - apply to almost all construction projects undertaken in the UK.They were introduced in an effort to improve the management and co-ordination of health and safety and welfare issues in construction projects, and to reduce accidents and cases of ill health in the construction industry.
The recent figures are cause for significant concern. A person or company commissioning works are responsible for them even though they may not handle the works themselves. They cannot delegate this responsibility as was once the case. This means that a person or company with no experience in construction can be held responsible for accidents during building works, and hit with jail terms or unlimited fines, in both civil and criminal actions.
If you are aware that your team are falling short in their knowledge of the CDM regulations, please take a look at our courses designed specifically to increase awareness in the CDM Regulations for construction professionals. ‘Working with CDM 2007’ is a one day general update course designed for those new to construction or CDM, or for those who want to update and refresh their knowledge on the CDM Regs. ‘CDM for Designers’ is our brand new one day course intended to clarify the important role of ‘designers’ and ‘specifiers’ under the CDM regulations. ‘Becoming a CDM Co-ordinator under CDM 2007’ is a three day course specifically for those with professional and managerial experience to aid their understanding of the CDM Co-ordinator Role. For more details please see the course programmes listed on our site or call 0845 3133 414 for more information.
