When it comes to working on a project, there’s so many products to specify and it helps if you know a little about each of them. That’s why we’ve created our latest CPD called ‘Bringing the Inside Out’ which is fully approved by RIBA.

The CPD is an easy to follow 23-minute online learning video so you can watch it in your own time at your own pace.
