One day workshop
Calculating building costs has always been a challenge and is at the root of poor practice in the building industry - particularly residential projects. Measuring procedures and systems are generally simple and easy to adopt. This workshop equips delegates with tools that can be used immediately and more importantly knowledge that will help create and compile systems that meet particular requirements.
OUR PRESENTER - Architectural professional, lecturer, author and radio show host, Graham Alexander has been intricately involved in the building industry for over thirty years, informing and learning from the industry. He has passionately pioneered the principle of calculating building costs correctly.
