Contract Journal

The Contract Journal site brings "the latest construction business news on key industry sectors directly to your desktop", as well as featuring jobs, events, construction law, links, and an excellent searchable products and companies database. Contract Journal's new online CPD service, CPD Construction, offers a host of pan-institute approved eCPD programmes across three construction related channels - surveying, civil engineering and soft skills. Each programme features 20-30 minutes of streaming video, delivering what it describes as "inspiring location reports" and in-depth interviews with leading experts, and combines this with study notes, interactive quizzes and discussion guides "to create a state of the art e-learning experience". Users must pay a registration fee to access the site, though a 7-day free trial offer is available. [GAS, 8 Jul 2006].

PlaceNorthWest is a helpful and nicely presented resource for property and regeneration professionals in the North West of England, including news, reviews, features and comment from leading journalists and experts in the North West. News content can be filtered by location (such as Liverpool, Manchester, Lancashire, Cheshire and Cumbria) or by sector (architecture, construction, housing and transport, among others), but appears to be only accessible to those with a paid subscription. However, there are no restrictions on access to the features, comment, events listing, 'who's who' and forum sections. [GAS, 28 Jan 2008].
