Training for designers, architects, construction companies and contractors
 
A focus on climate change


The construction industry will be affected by changes in weather patterns. Have you considered how:

  • long periods of drought might affect a building's foundations?
  • materials may be unable to cope with severe temperature and rainfall events?
  • current design standards and safety thresholds will cope with more intense weather?
  • changing seasonal patterns will affect your activities and schedules?
  • demands to be more environmentally friendly will place pressures on your organisation?
  • customer demands will change - and the ways in which you must respond?

We are working with companies in many different industry sectors to assess the impacts of climate change. Learn more about climate change here.

The knowledge we have gained over the years, and our proven skills in forecasting, are combined in training courses that are specifically designed for the building and construction industry.

Further information can be obtained by contacting our Customer Centre.
