Sustainability - Profitable Construction in an Eco-Friendly World
Thursday 9th October – London, W1
Sustainability isn’t going away. If you want to squeeze profit out of a residential development scheme, you need to know how to meet the government’s agenda AND drive down your costs.
We have designed a day where some of the experts help you understand how to do this; it takes place in London W1 on 9th October 2008. You will see from the agenda below that the speaker list contains market leading sustainability experts.
Whether you are in the development team, controlling finances, making strategic decisions or doing the nitty gritty of design, you will get something valuable from this day. The day is aimed at key people directly involved in the delivery of residential schemes. The majority of attendees so far booked are developers, RSLs, banks, planning consultants and construction specialists.
If you are working out how to take millions off your development costs, without incurring a lengthy planning battle over sustainability issues, you should come to this event.
Details of how to book or request further information are included below.
