Cracking The Code

The Government has announced that from 1st May this year a Code for Sustainable Homes rating will be required for all new build homes in England. It is essential that house builders know the regulations and the increased challenges they will face.

To assist house builders NHBC is running a series of one-day courses in June to provide practical guidance and advice on the updated Code requirements for 2008.

NHBC's Training Manager, Rob Lockey, said: ‘It is essential that house builders are up to speed on the changes and requirements of the Code, including the minimum standards for energy and water being set beyond the requirements of Building Regulations. NHBC's one-day 'Code for Sustainable Homes' course covers all aspects of the Code and will prepare house builders for these changes.’

Highly experienced NHBC staff will offer expert advice and guidance for the course.
Places are available for delegates to attend the course at the following dates and locations:

Dartford - 10 June
Basingstoke - 11 June
Bath - 12 June
