Whether applying for funding or publishing a tender, the jargon and technical terminology surrounding these processes can be extremely off-putting. Professionals have enough to think about without having to disseminate an extensive list of acronyms, which is why a glossary of technical terms appears on this website.

The glossary contains not only funding and tendering terms, but also information about the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the various RIBA stages undertaken when dealing with a storage related project.
Can’t find an explanation to the elusive acronym you’re struggling with? Contact us and we will research the term and reply to you. If you have come across a term you think we’ve missed please let us know and we’ll add it for the benefit of your colleagues in the industry.
