Raising standards to protect homeowners
Brownfield land clean-up - Additional free seminar, November 2011
An important part of completing the remediation of brownfield land is the topsoil used to cap the site. The quality of the gardens and any landscaping can affect homeowner satisfaction and can be an important factor in successfully clearing NHBC and Local Authority conditions.
This course will help you understand the best practice solutions for topsoil.
NHBC has teamed up with British Sugar to bring together leading speakers to cover the different issues, including successful procurement, and to answer your questions.
After the seminar, there is an option to undertake a museum tour.
Places to this free seminar are limited on a first come, first serve basis.
