Thoroughly enjoyed the course and found the pictures of good and bad practice very helpful.
Very useful and nicely taught. Good pace throughout the day
I thought it was a very good and detailed session on the defects shown and a very good insight on how the NHBC operate with the house builders to get quality homes built. i would recommend more training for everyone in the industry just to help expend knowledge and make sure everyone is singing off
Michael has excellent knowledge of the construction and building industry not to mention customer services. Great course!
