Start with the news release Subscan oil company survey contract from Arcadis from Subscan Technology , which we summarised at the time by saying "Subscan has won the Arcadis Approved Supply Contract to undertake topographical and utility mapping surveys for a major oil company of its petrol stations across the UK.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Stannah Lifts and art deco development from Stannah: "Stannah complete major lift refurbishment project at Gunnersbury Court, an art deco style 1930s private housing development.".
 
In September 2011, we covered the news from Concrete Centre - take a look at Basement solution to shoe-box homes which says: "Guy Thompson, head of architecture and sustainability at The Concrete Centre, believes the provision of basements would help counter RIBA criticism of 'shameful shoe-box homes'.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from TRADA Technology, Independent assessment of the technical claims, as well as New Safedoors retail offer from Permadoor from Permadoor, and TRADA Technology at Timber Expo 2011 from TRADA Technology.
