What's New
Sustainability is a word that is becoming more and more predominant within the construction industry, yet is widely misunderstood and is a source of much debate and disagreement. Sustainability is the ability to meet the needs of today without affecting the needs of tomorrow.

Petroleum Licensing
It is the statutory responsibility for Local or Fire Authorities to satisfy themselves that the storage of petrol is maintained in a safe manner and that such storage is licensed if more than 14 litres (3 gallons) is kept. In Milton Keynes, the Building Control department currently undertakes these responsibilities. See further information about petroleum licensing.
