Find out more about PDW!

Project Develop Workshop Ltd. specialize in housing and development consultancy services. They deliver a wide scope of services targeted specifically to housing clients, providing things such as extra care housing, development procedure manuals and development agency services.


 On top of this their services also include site assessments, funding bids and option appraisals. Their website, which is http://www.housing-consultants.co.uk/home/  is handily split up into the three sections of services that they offer; Housing, Development and Exta Care housing. However, sometimes it is a lot better to speak to someone in person, as things can be explained more clearly face to face then they can by reading or a telephone conversation.

 There is in fact the perfect opportunity to get to know more about PDW, which is down at the CIH exhibition in Manchester next month. The event which is celebrating 15 years of supporting housing organisations, takes place between the 24th-26th June at Manchester Central. PDW will be at stand E25 for you to chat!
