Meet the experts behind the guidance – Part 2

Let’s meet the experts who write and compile the CIP Construction Environmental Manual.

Our Construction Environmental Manual is the leading publication on environmental issues within the built environment. The manual is written by a panel of leading environmental specialists from across the sector and is updated regularly, at least twice a year, to ensure that your business remains compliant and stays up to date with relevant environmental legislation.
