Its accepting this time around that they really are coming into force. So there is no good putting the head in the sand, we really do need to crack on and introduce them in your business. Secondly I would say dont panic about them. They do look daunting, but the experience that most designers have had when they actually had the opportunity to use the codes for real, rather then just been sent off on training courses is that you pick them up relatively quickly. And the sort of timescale we have been finding with our designers, who are experienced designers but have no prior knowledge of the Eurocodes, is that they tend to pick up the basics of the codes with a relatively short period of around two weeks or so. And that is obviously influenced by how much local support they have and the calibre of engineer. That is the sort of timeframe where they get back to what I would say to around 90 per cent efficiency. So I just think you have to trust people that are telling you this and take the opportunity to use them when you can. So that leaves me on to the third point which is: do take the opportunity to use the codes when you can and dont leave it to the last possible minute.
