Hi everyone,

I am currently in my final year of studying for my degree which is Construction Management BSc. For my dissertation I have chosen to research the topic: ‘Compliance to the Code for Sustainable Homes for small sized enterprises in the private house building sector’.

Basically I'm trying to assess the impacts the Code is having on small developers. At the moment I'm struggling to find people who are part of a small company building to the Code (I have defined small company using the SME definition, of less than 50 people and turnover less than £5.6 million). Before starting my final year i was working for a small house builder and we had great trouble building our first two homes to Code level 3, so i'm trying to get in contact with others to gain their experiences.

I would be very grateful if anyone here who has had experience building to the Code with a small company, would be willing to help me out by sharing their experiences with me? I ultimately need to get feedback via my questionnaire and through interviews to submit for my research dissertation, but any feedback would be great.

Thanks

Ben

benloombe - suspect Tony 'whispered' you, so you're the only one who can read whatever he's said to you.

That's assuming you two haven't got telepathic skills, with only Tony able to 'send'.

It's a BIG club!
