Constructing for sustainability as well as for profit

Clients do not need to know everything there is to know about sustainable development and construction. However, knowing enough to ask professional advisors and project teams the right questions is becoming increasingly important and will give your business an edge.

CIC have published two new guides which continue the series of Sustainable Development Guides.  Previous publications in the series include ''Water Conservation in Business" and "Building for Energy Efficiency".

“Constructing for Sustainability: a guide for clients and their professional advisors” briefly explains some of the thinking behind the principles of sustainable development and looks at how to adopt these principles throughout the life of your projects from inception to demolition. £12.50 ISBN 1 898671 35 4

“Brownfields – building on previously developed land” – provides a framework for a sound business approach to help clients building on previously developed sites. It also explains the steps that clients should take so that they can interact successfully with their advisors. £5.00 ISBN 1 89867 121 4
