‘Contract Flooring Association’

A Buildingtalk guide

Start with the news release Why steel should still appeal from Steel Window Association, which we summarised at the time by saying "Steel Window Association asks if some leaseholders are paying out unnecessary money because social landlords are replacing steel windows with PVC-U units.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release ISG sustainable workshop redevelopment from ISG plc: "ISG has secured its latest project with Kirklees Metropolitan Council - a GBP5.2 million design and build contract to build a new vehicle workshop in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.".

In November 2008, we covered the news from UK Cast Stone Association - take a look at UKCSA tops new cast stone standard which says: "Cast stone produced by UKCSA members surpasses the requirements of the new BS 1217: 2008 standard.".

Take a look also at the news release from Dulux Trade, Dulux Trade winning Contract Partnership, as well as Contract cleaning in public sector construction from MTW Research, and Sustainability discussion report from H+H Celcon from H+H Celcon.
