Emerging Prospects as a result of Government Policies – Low Carbon, BIM and Procurement

 Speaker Don Ward Constructing Excellence 

Don will set the scene on the trends in the sector, consider the effects of the recession and discuss the emerging prospects as a result of Government policies including the low carbon economy, Building Information Modeling and Management, and procurement. He will go on to describe Constructing Excellence’s response to these drivers, drawing on the ‘Never waste a good crisis’ report.

Proposals from Constructing Excellence and how these could benefit our Club

Speaker Don Ward Constructing Excellence 

Don will outline the proposals from Constructing Excellence to provide more support and consistency for the clubs as part of Constructing Excellence’s wider offering.  We will then have a chance to debate the impact of these on our club, put forward any questions to Constructing Excellence and debate the proposal.
