The courses, 'Understanding the Code for Sustainable Homes', 'Introduction to Construction Estimating' and 'Advanced Construction Estimating' aim to equip construction managers and professionals with the skills and tools they need to ensure their businesses are complying with the latest legislation and have the skills required to ensure that they remain competitive.
'Understanding the Code for Sustainable Homes' has been developed for architects, designers, construction managers, site managers and house builders to find out more about what the Code for Sustainable Homes is and how it works. The course covers the criteria that assessors will use to measure the achievement of sustainability performance under the Code and will be delivered by approved Code for Sustainable Homes assessors and the NCC's outstanding trainers.

'Introduction to Construction Estimating' and 'Advanced Construction Estimating' are two-day and three-day courses aimed at SMEs, access estimators, roofing estimators, and technicians following a Quantity Surveyor career route who require knowledge and understanding of the estimating process. These courses will equip delegates with the skills to understand the various types of tendering, employer requirements and contract proposals. They will also give an insight into supply chain management and explain tendering and bidding procedures.
NCC Director Andy Walder said: "At the moment it is very important for construction companies of all sizes to make sure they have the skills and knowledge needed to ensure they are working as efficiently as possible. As the direct training division of ConstructionSkills we are well placed to be able to react to industry needs and introduce courses such as these, which will ensure companies are confident about their processes, helping them to take advantage in these troubled times."
