The realization of any real estate endeavor starts and ends with actual development of land and its increments. These real estate activities address not only the housing requirement of the people, but also the various aspects of commerce, industry, government service, economy, and all other activities that depend and require the use of a foremost capital which remains the best hedge against recession and devaluation: Land.

With this in mind, CREBA and DLS-CSB offers a course that will get together experts in the industry to help participants be aware of basic regulations and techniques as regards real estate development and construction, identify niches, and respond to market needs that have gone full circle with the demands of time.

At the end of the course, participants are expected to be equipped with enough know-how to undertake full development of well-made plans.

A major highlight of the course is a set of actual project inspection/s of select projects worthy of serving good examples.
