Dear Sir / Madam



RE : Dissertation – BSc(Hons) Quantity Surveying




I am currently undertaking a Bachelor of Science Honours Degree in Quantity Surveying at Napier University in Edinburgh. In fulfilment of the degree I am required to research a subject and produce a dissertation. The subject I have chosen to research is the impact of the EU Landfill Directive on construction costs in the UK.
I am investigating the following areas;



• Increase in landfill tax


• Re- licensing of sites


• Re-classification of waste


• Alternatives to landfilling






I would be very grateful if you could take 5 minutes to complete the attached questionnaire. Needless to say, the information provided will be treated in the strictest confidence and individual firms will not be identified. Equally a copy of the summary report will be available to the co-operating firms.











Yours faithfully

Iain McCallum
