‘Housing Associations’

A Buildingtalk guide

Start with the news release Basement solution to shoe-box homes from Concrete Centre, which we summarised at the time by saying "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'.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release JELD-WEN windows specified for energy efficiency from JELD-WEN: "JELD-WEN new DreamVu windows specified for 'Retrofit for the Future' HeatPod project in Penzance.".
 
In September 2011, we covered the news from Maccaferri - take a look at Maccaferri reinforced soil solution which says: "Maccaferri complex reinforced soil structure spans drainage culvert as part of the Inverness Parks Farm distributor road project.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from BRE, Rethink refurbishment at INSITE11 at BRE Watford, as well as BRE and British Gas partner on SmartHomes from BRE, and PEFC and MTC share the knowledge at Timber Expo from PEFC UK.
