Description
Mike Wye & Associates Ltd have been involved with traditional, sustainable and ecological construction projects for nearly a quarter of a century. In that time, our team have acquired a wealth of experience and knowledge which we share and discuss in a series of seminars as part of our CPD days.
Our new sustainable Design Centre at our headquarters in Buckland Filleigh, Devon provides a dedicated venue to learn about building conservation, sustainable construction and specification on CPD days.
The 2018 Traditional Building CPD day will include:
- Introduction to Lime and Example Specifications.
- Natural and Traditional Paint and Decorating Products
- Sustainable Insulation
- Limecrete Floors
- Lunch and refreshments!
Here are a few comments from past attendees:
