Sustainable construction courses

Are you a developer, architect, site manager, site operative, quantity surveyor or project manager looking to enhance your understanding and skills relating to sustainable construction techniques and practices?

Sustainable construction is more important than ever in helping to deliver the Government's targets to reduce carbon emissions. Those businesses already taking responsibility and focusing on sustainability are not only increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations, but also benefitting their reputation and profitability.

ECUS has developed a variety of courses which aim to explore key environmental and sustainability issues and the practical actions required to improve performance. The emphasis is on interactive learning, with the courses deliverd through a combination of presented sessions and practical exercises.

What our clients say...

"I thought the Waste Management on Site course was really informative. You delivered the information with great enthusiasm which helps as people's attitude to things like this can be 'it's just something else for us to do."
Paul Hardy, Estimator/Surveyor, Kier Sheffield

"I would like to personally thank you for the instruction on the course. It was very informative and has given me a great deal of knowledge required for my job. For once, I left a course having enjoyed myself, rather than being bored to tears!"
Adrian Blakey, MBBC Ltd

"I recently attended a half day SWMP course and would like to take this opportunity to thank you for both an informative and entertaining presentation. You managed to make a relatively ordinary subject into something special. My colleagues and I were enlightened by your delivery and we all went away with a clear understanding of our role and responsibilities. I attended a Bid to Win course last week and I was able to use my knowledge on sustainability."
Steve Farrow, Sangwin Ltd
