 Into the 21st Century with a Past President
 Grant Harrison, Colin Harding PPCIOB, Ed Quinn.

Colin Harding PPCIOB, Chairman of the G&H Group and Verbus Systems Ltd delivered a CPD presentation to approximately 50 members and guests at a joint CPD presentation between the Dorset and Hampshire Centres and in association with the RIBA.

The presentation entitled “Leading Construction into the 21st Century with the Verbus System” was extremely well received. 

Mr Harding gave an account on how Verbus have adapted the technology and mass production techniques of manufacturing shipping containers in China, to create high strength steel construction modules that lock together to form the complete structure of buildings of all types and uses.


Colin believes that the Verbus System, by using car production manufacturing techniques to create fully fitted modules, that simply click together on site, will revolutionise traditional construction worldwide.
