The NFDC is excited to announce the return of the Intelligent Demolition Planning seminar series for 2025, in partnership with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Institute of Demolition Engineers (IDE).

Following the success of the series in 2023/24, these free, expert-led sessions are designed to equip professionals from industries such as construction, property development, real estate, infrastructure, and more with the critical knowledge needed to plan effective and efficient demolition projects with contractors.

These seminars are ideal for construction professionals, project managers, developers, and anyone involved in procuring demolition services. Whether you’re tendering a major development or overseeing pre-construction planning, the NFDC Talks are designed to support informed decision-making and reduce project risk.
