House building on contaminated land
Summary
Currently over 70% of new housing is being constructed on previously developed land. Much of this land will be affected by contamination and can only be developed cost effectively using a risk-based approach. Understanding the issues will help you avoid the potential delays to the sale of homes and minimise your long term liability. The course uses expert external consultants and specialist NHBC environmental engineers.
Suitable for:
Construction/contracts managers, lawyers, technical managers, development engineers and designers, site engineers, developers, regional managers. The course is aimed at house builders but is also appropriate for contaminated land professionals and consultants.
