Building website: construction industry and the new coalition
The Building website has published its views on how the new coalition government will affect the construction industry. It highlights the eight key policy areas of housing, education, health, greening existing housing, nuclear, renewable energy, private sector development and transport and what the likely consequences of a Lib-Con (some might say Con-Dem) coalition will be.

Deconstruction vs Demolition
[pict. My Green Home Project]
My Green Home Project explains that deconstruction is the way to go and shows you how to take your house apart gently. "This new trend is making conventional demolition a thing of the past - it's no longer just a traditional material removal and disposal industry. Rather, it has progressed to a highly sophisticated, environmentally friendly deconstruction, recycle and salvage opportunity," claims 3R Demolition.
