Message from the President

Here at the National Federation of Demolition Contractors, we don’t demolish, dismantle or recycle anything.  

But we help our members to do so safely and environmentally by encouraging strict adherence to the very latest guidelines and Codes of Practice and by encouraging the professional training of all demolition personnel.

To the layman, demolition can be seen as a hazardous occupation.  

It is true that, without planning and adherence to professional standards, demolition sites are potentially dangerous.   But year on year, we are reducing the number of accidents and fatalities on our members sites.  

Demolition is also perceived as a purely destructive sector.  

Yet, while other aspects of UK industry are struggling to meet government guidelines on recycling, our members regularly recycle as much as 90% of all arisings from demolition contracts.

In short, the NFDC is looking to the future:

·        We work closely with the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) and have formed with them the National Demolition Training Group (NDTG) to promote the need for training at ALL levels of the demolition sector.   Furthermore, we have now opened our own NVQ accreditation centre.

·        We work closely with our European peers via the European Demolition Association (EDA), lobbying European parliament to protect the interests of our members.

·        We work in conjunction with the likes of the Building Research Establishment (BRE) and Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) to further the causes of the environment and sustainability.

Most importantly of all, we work on behalf of our members to ensure that they’re kept fully informed of all changes to legislation and health and safety guidelines that affect their businesses; and lobby UK parliament to ensure that the voice of the UK demolition is heard loudly and clearly in the corridors of power.
