A Buildingtalk guide

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 Schluter-Systems - take a look at Free online training with Schluter-Systems which says: "Award-winning Schluter Online Academy enables installers, distributors and architects to keep up with the latest trends and technology for the tile and stone industry ".
