This website aims to highlight environmental good practice in construction, primarily by reference to CIRIA publications which, themselves, contain routes to further information.
The site is intended to act as a guide to anyone involved in, or planning to undertake construction activities, whether they are an individual or from a large contracting or design organisation.
The business area and business process pages are designed to provide a simple introduction to a variety of construction practices. Experienced construction professionals should go straight to the guidance section for advice on environmental good practice.
