New Technical Homepage

New Technical Homepage

This month sees the launch of the new Technical Homepage on the GGF website.

As well as an obvious re-design, the aim of the new Homepage is to provide a more informative service primarily for GGF Members but also to show non-Members and the wider industry such as architects, specifiers and building designers, the many technical services the GGF offers.

David Borland, Senior Technical Officer explains;

“Rather than provide a generic who we are page, we wanted to provide up-to-date information on matters which are relevant to our members and give them a more immersive experience.”

The concertina style drop down design has multiple sub-sections for the user’s convenience and ease of navigation. 

A visit to the Technical Homepage shows sections such as Latest News and Events which provides details of upcoming events such as webinars and technical forums. Each topic providing links to relevant documents or booking forms.

The Latest News and Events sub-section will also include recent events such as the two Technical Forums; the “Ban on Laminated Glass for facades and balconies” and “The Future Homes Consultation” with full video coverage and documentation links.

The new Technical Homepage will also house relevant information and links to Government and trade information that may impact on Members’ business.

The Consultation sub-section contains details and links to all current Consultation documents and covers both the UK and ROI. Some of these consultation will also link to webinars in the Events section if relevant.

A complete list of industry standards from BSI (UK standards), CEN (European standards) & ISO (international standards) that are currently under review, shows the current status of each standard and relevant dates for response to the relevant standards body (BSI, CEN or ISO).

Members can also find, view and download the most GGF Technical Report on the Technical Homepage. The information is presented in such a way that Members can either downloaded from the page in either full typed form or as a PDF copy of the Meeting presentation.

David Borland concluded, “We very much see this a stepping stone to providing an interactive and informative source of important information for our Members and are keen to receive feedback on how they believe it can be further improved. In the meantime, I am sure that Members will find the experience of finding GGF technical documents and information far easier than ever before.”
