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 SAS International for acoustics at Dublin Airport from SAS International: "SAS International worked with architects Pascall + Watson to design the acoustic ceiling solutions for the new Terminal 2 at Dublin Airport, Ireland.".
 
In September 2011, we covered the news from Epwin Group - take a look at National consumer poll by super-fabricator Sierra which says: "New national survey reveals that appearance and security are the single most important factors for homeowners when buying new windows and doors. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Gradus Group, Gradus new Matting CPD Seminar, as well as First emergency lighting certified under BAFE from Cooper Lighting, and Light levels increased and energy consumption cut from Cooper Lighting.
