Property & Development Courses
It is increasingly recognised that consideration of a project and its effectiveness should not simply relate to the construction phase, but should be viewed as the performance of the property asset over its complete lifecycle. Issues such as development and planning strategies, building condition surveys, maintenance and repairs all come into the equation. So it is important that those working in the property sector have the relevant range of skills to deliver their role effectively.
Construction Study Centre have been providing high quality training for over twenty years and in that time we have built up a portfolio of trainers and courses that can benefit professionals from the Property and Development sectors as well as construction.
From Property Law, to Planning, to Surveys we can give your team a competitive edge in your field. Browse the courses below or try our search box in the top right corner to find the right course. Need more help? Give us a call on 0845 313 3414.

PPM - Effective planned maintenance of buildings - protecting capital assets in difficult times
Category: Facilities Management
This BRAND NEW 1 DAY COURSE will provide practical expert perspectives on effective planned maintenance, with a background in the necessity for cost effectiveness and due consideration of climate change and sustainability issues.
Building maintenance is vital to protect the investment of carbon, as well as financial investment made into the UK’s building stock. Sustainability should be about making buildings last as long as possible which can only happen with well informed and properly executed building maintenance. Retrofit components also need maintaining if they are to perform as expected and make our buildings greener.
Building maintenance needs to be respected as essential for both economic and climate change reasons. It also needs to be more professional and that’s where training and education comes in.

Building Regs to get red tape challenge
13/01/2012 10:46:16
Statutory construction regulations, including the Building Regulations, are to be made open to public scrutiny this month. They have just been released on the government's Red Tape Challenge website (www.redtapechallenge.cabinetoffice.gov.uk ). This is despite the fact that some parts of the Buildings Regs will be out for consultation in 2012.The objective of this challenge is to reduce red tape to increase business efficiency, without compromising on safety. Housing, Construction and Planning is the latest sector featured on the website, allowing comment on regulations, from those it affects.
At the end of the consultation period, all comments will be forwarded to a "Star Chamber" chaired by Oliver Letwin, Minister of State for the Cabinet Office, where he and his team will decide upon which regulations need strengthening, and which should be abolished.
The common thought is that this will not have much effect on the existing regulations in the short term. The industry has threatened to radically change Building Regulations over the years but as yet we have only seen increased regulation, not de-regulation. Proposed revisions to the Building Regulations are expected in draft form early this year, to be implemented next year, in 2013.
Ensure your team is up to date with the Building Regulations, changes and proposals, with our one day course 'Keeping up to speed with the latest Building & Fire Regulations'.
