Close of seminar
The seminar will be interspersed with slides OHPs and limited question and answers during each session.
The seminar is aimed at specifiers', designers and contractors, as the best work comes from designers understanding the constraints of construction, and contract managers understanding the principles of the design. The areas overlap each other very well and will therefore be beneficial to all delegates.
