The guide itself is a quick read (about 45 pages), but the ‘Project Planner’ is the real value here. I printed out the Site Selection Checklist to take with me when I looked at a plot of land yesterday, and it actually reminded me to check for utility access I would have missed. The supplier directory is handy too, saves some time Googling. Good starting point.
