London stone contractors Putney & Wood have had their ‘Design, Procurement & Installation of Natural Stone’ seminar approved by RIBA as part of architects’ CPD programme.

The seminar, which can be presented during a lunchtime, covers natural stone selection, British Standards, stone testing, stonework detailing, stone cladding, fixing options and, of course, sustainability.

It will contribute to an architect’s RIBA CPD and fits into several sections of the RIBA core curriculum for architects, including Specification Writing & Choosing Materials and Architectural Design. Putney & Wood offer the course to surveyors, engineers and contractors as well as architects within London and the Home Counties.

Putney & Wood Operations Director Andy Wood says: “We decided to offer this seminar because we regularly receive requests from architects for advice even though we wouldn’t tender for the job because it’s too far for us to travel. A recent request came through for a project in Russia!

“Having spent time getting together the right illustrations and photographs, we were pleased the RIBA assessor said the presentation is well structured and conveys our wide knowledge and experience of stonework.”
