Target Audience
This course is suitable for Development and Regeneration staff who are new to the discipline, and staff from other teams within Registered Providers who are drafted into Development project teams.
Entry or Pre-course Requirements
This course is designed to follow on from Understanding the Development Process. It is preferable, although not essential, that delegates should either have attended that course or have an equivalent level of knowledge.
Recommended Pre-course Reading
Before coming on the course please review the following documents, and bring a copy with you to the course:
- A copy of a signed building contract for a scheme currently on-site or recently completed. This should be the full Form of Contract, not just the Contract Particulars pages. Please don’t bring all the associated contract documents – the ERs, Contractor’s proposals etc – that would be too bulky to carry!
- A copy of a contractor’s programme for a scheme (could be the same scheme as the one above, or a different one)
- A copy of a Contractor’s application for payment and the EA’s Interim Certificate for the same month
- A copy of a contractor’s Monthly Site Meeting Report (assuming you get them)
If you are unsure what documents will give you this information, ask your manager who should be able to help.
You will find it helpful to look over the relevant Topics in Developing Affordable Housing, published by the National Housing Federation. It is available here.
