Welcome to our brand new Summer 2013 Built Environment Professional Development CPD series.

These courses
are designed to help construction and development companies and organisations address the many challenges facing us all from now to 2020
will equip construction, surveying and wider development professionals with the essential skills and capabilities they most need
will help you keep abreast of rapid change and emerging technologies, and several business opportunities too.

Our team are great teachers and successful practitioners, so they know the training you need most.

As leaders in full and part time study, we are sharing our expertise and commitment through these new short courses, including elements from our quality courses accredited by RICS, CIOB ICE and others.

Our Brand New CPD Training Series in Chelmsford targets four areas of interest:

Conservation of Historic Buildings

This mini series of four sessions details and integrates four major challenges involved in effective conservation, restoration, and appropriate adaptations to historic buildings, including listed buildings.

The four events provide thorough insight for architects and designers, construction companies and other built environment specialists, and for owners and managers of historic buildings.

The sessions have been designed by two nationally recognised conservation experts and teachers, Dr Alan Coday and architect Andrew Claiborne, Course Group Leader for Architecture and Planning, and draws directly on the content of our respected MSc course.

Sustainable Building Design and Operation

These two sessions examine all-important issues on minimizing energy usage and costs, and viable opportunities for adapting buildings and adding renewable energy to new and existing buildings, both housing and commercial.

Both workshops examine the trade off between up front capital costs and revenue payback, and the deliverability and relative priority of different options.

Each session is led by an experienced Anglia Ruskin lecturer, supported by a skilled specialist practitioner who has implemented leading edge projects across the east of England and beyond.

Introduction to Eurocodes 0-6

This mini series of five sessions provides a sound introduction to Eurocodes, and a route map for each commonly used Eurocode that have replaced British Standards in construction and civil engineering.

All five sessions include

principles of design
the key differences compared to British Standards, and
relevant design examples

Structural and civil engineer Alice Ward delivers all sessions, supported by other Anglia Ruskin University civil engineering Senior Lecturers.

People and companies with limited understanding of Eurocodes are strongly recommended to first attend Eurocodes for Beginners - Eurocodes 0 and 1. This provides the overall introduction and base for each of the other sessions.

Relevant learning resources will be produced for each session, including all presentations and copies of appropriate design examples. Wider resources include a guide to the extensive range of online publications.

Project Management and New Rules of Measurement

Project Managment
Our two half day Project Management sessions are particularly designed for people who are not experienced in project management, but need a sound introduction. They can be taken singly or combined as a full day course.

Both sessions, and planned future more advanced training, focus on the particular demands of development and construction projects.

These sessions are led by Dr Mike Coffey, Deputy Head of Department, and Dr Christian Henjewele, Lecturer in Construction Project Management.

New Rules of Measurement
This half day training course explains the new RICS rules of measurement, launched in 2012 to create a uniform, standard set of measurement rules for all involved in construction projects and construction management.

This course explains:

How the new best practice guidance works
How companies can make the most of it to assist management and cost control on construction projects, and
How it assists construction professionals in preparing and submitting bids for competitive tenders
