SUMMARY:The Essential Role of Green Infrastructure in Building Resilience in the Built Environment
DESCRIPTION:Over the next 25 years it is expected that around 650\,000 houses will be built in the North of England with £75bn investment planned. This presents challenges as well as opportunities – increased carbon emissions\, flood risk and pollution as well as loss of habitats and green spaces where people can unwind. \nPutting green infrastructure at the heart of development presents a natural solution to some of these challenges: creating places that are healthier\, happier\, more environmentally friendly and more attractive for the people who live\, work and invest in them. \nSian Day\, who works with companies to build the City of Trees movement\, helping to plant more trees\, manage more woodland and connect more  people to nature\, will talk about the City of Trees initiative and how this will deliver the benefits of green infrastructure for Greater Manchester.’\nWhen:  Wednesday 13th February 2019\nBreakfast  8.00  – 10.00am\nWhere: Trowers & Hamlins LLP\, 55 Princess Street\, Manchester M2 4EW \nFee £15\nFree to members of CE Manchester. \nBook on Eventbrite here \n(Companies – please book your attendees individually.) \nThe CE Manchester team look forward to seeing you at our Spring 2019 series. \nFurther dates for your diary:  March 13th\, April 17th

SUMMARY:Towards a resilient construction industry - are you adapting to change?
DESCRIPTION:The collapse of Carillion has kick started a wide-ranging debate about the causes of the company’s demise\, the role of government and the efficacy of public sector contracting. It puts a spotlight on the ability of the UK’s construction industry to withstand uncertainty and changes in the business environment.  Tellingly\, while contributing 7% to the UK economy\, the industry suffers over 16% of insolvencies. \nA new report asks ‘Are we built on a house of cards?’ Resilience is the ability of organisation’s to respond to change and disruption.  We live in uncertain times with weak economic growth and demand as well low productivity and skill shortages. The report’s co-author\, Tim Whitehill of Project Five Consulting\, will highlight key issues which need to be addressed in organisations to embrace resilience. \nAdam White of Manchester Airport Group is responsible for a planned £1 billion of development at Airport City and will give an update on progress and the impact on the local construction economy. He will also give a client’s perspective on the need for resilience in procurement and delivery of such a large programme of work. \nJoin Constructing Excellence Manchester on 11th July as we take a more in-depth look at the issues around building a more resilient construction industry \nTo book your tickets please visit https://bit.ly/2t3BT8O \nFREE to members of Constructing Excellence

SUMMARY:Are you fully exploiting intelligent data management in your business?
DESCRIPTION:Until recently the uptake of digital in construction was poor. The industry is stuck in a cycle of low margins and it has been difficult to feel confident to invest in new technology. This is now changing and the sector is waking up to a new era of digitisation. \nTechnologies are changing the traditional approaches to building projects. But Business systems and processes are ripe for change\, especially in the pre-construction sector. A recent survey discovered that construction businesses expect to gain over 3% per annum in cost reductions over the next three years by implementing a digital strategy. The investment of time and money into digitisation is essential. \nmyConsole provides a next generation digital platform enabling integrated solutions across construction procurement. Philip Collard will share insights on the digital journey we now need to take and demonstrate how harnessing the power of data and analytics can create efficiencies\, dramatically increase win rates and lead to increased performance across the construction process.

SUMMARY:Government Property and Estates Conference 2018
DESCRIPTION:Roger Burton\, chair of Constructing Excellence\, explains how only a modernised and efficient construction sector can deliver the public estate of the future. \nThe public sector’s ambition to modernise and improve its estate will not only require the disposal of surplus assets but the rationalisation of the £3bn property portfolio.  Reducing costs and increasing efficiencies will inevitably involve the construction industry in re-providing or modernising the residual estate. Public sector clients therefore need to be confident of the ability of the construction industry to deliver their product effectively and reliably to meet cost and time requirements. \nThe construction industry forms a significant element of our economy.  With an annual output around £100bn it is almost seven per cent of the economy and provides three million jobs. But it suffers from a complex and extended structure involving the management of thousands of smaller enterprises operating in a competitive environment.  The selection process continues to favour the lowest cost offer as opposed to best value and the industry operates at low profit margins which does not help in improving quality\, delivery and ultimate performance and has significantly restrained investment over decades.  This has had the effect of limiting productivity growth – the industry has virtually flatlined in this respect since the watershed Egan report\, Rethinking Construction\, published twenty years ago. He found then that the “the industry as a whole is underachieving\, with too little capital investment\, research\, development and training” resulting in “low client satisfaction”. Little has changed. \nThe industry cannot be complacent.  Low productivity\, low skills\, low margins and the resultant low profitability are a recipe for ultimate failure. Recent research shows that while accounting for seven per cent of economic output\, construction also suffers 16.5 per cent of insolvencies with the inevitable difficulties this causes for the industry’s clients.  So how can we secure change in the industry to deliver better performance and resilience?  The recent Farmer Review exhorts the industry to “modernise or die”. It needs to improve relationships and increase levels of investment in research and development and change commissioning trends from traditional to collaborative approaches embracing innovation and pre-manufactured approaches – shifting towards construction processes where more elements can be fabricated in a factory environment for on-site assembly. \nClients of the industry and particularly those in the public sector have an important role to play.  Their ability to influence construction processes has already been realised in the rapid transition to the use of digital technologies in design and delivery to BIM Level 2.  The Digital Review suggest that the industry can be transformed by ensuring digitalisation at scale to realise productivity increase\, the creation of highly skilled jobs and increased UK export opportunities. Enabling successful digitalisation and greater pre-manufacture will demand a culture change in the industry and its clients.  Increased collaboration\, early contactor and sub-contractor involvement in solution development facilitated by appropriate procurement arrangements\, replacing lowest price tendering with long term relationships\, with greater co-ordination of design and assembly will be key to delivering a leaner\, more productive approach to delivery.  This will result in less waste\, less duplication and greater efficiency generating better value for money\, profitability and a sustainable and resilient industry\, all to the benefit of the industry’s clients.  They should demand no less. \nThis agenda for the Government Property and Estates Conference is promoted and supported by Constructing Excellence\, a platform from which to stimulate debate and drive much needed change in the construction sector.  Our thought leading members from the entire supply chain – clients\, industry and users – share a vision for change through innovation and collaboration. \nConstructing Excellence in Manchester is part of the regional presence based in Salford University and the Centre for Construction Innovation.  As a result of this relationship our members are being offered free attendance at the forthcoming Conference on the 26th April which will address the challenges facing the public sector estate and anticipate how new policies may impact on your organisation. To book your place please contact j.kilby1@salford.ac.uk including your name\, job title\, email address and Constructing Excellence membership number. \n \n

SUMMARY:High Density New Housing – Towards Zero Carbon
DESCRIPTION:Manchester’s ambition is to become one of the leading green cities in Europe.  Following a series of consultation events\, those ambitions will be debated at the Mayor’s Green Summit this week\, more details here.  Housing is responsible for 27% of our carbon emissions and by 2050 Manchester wishes to see all our new and existing stock with very low or zero output and running on clean energy. \nAt the same time the Greater Manchester Spacial Framework is under consideration – after the initial consultation in October last year the latest version is due to be issued in June.  The Framework expects the population to grow by around 300\,000 up to 2035 demanding a further 227\,000 net new homes to be created.  It is likely that the latest version will continue to expect the industry to ‘deliver the highest standards of sustainable design’ with a focus on that delivery in town centres to capitalise on good transport access\, 40\,000 new dwellings in Manchester city centre alone. \nIn February our seminar looked at the principles and practice of retrofitting our current housing stock.  In response to these twin challenges\, this seminar will appropriately focus on the design of medium and high density\, low to zero carbon homes enabling us to meet Manchester’s targets. \nMark Bryan of TÜV SÜD will demonstrate\, based on their research and project delivery\, how higher density residential development in our own towns and cities can meet the Zero Carbon Homes standard now. \n. \nWhen:  Wednesday 11th April\nBreakfast.  8 – 10am\nWhere:  Trowers and Hamlins LLP\, 55 Princess Street\, Manchester M2 4EW \nBOOK HERE \nThe CE Manchester team look forward to seeing you at our Spring 2018 series. \nFurther dates for your diary:  16th May and June 13th and July 11th

SUMMARY:A Lean Approach to Housing –  for improved productivity and better utilisation of limited resources
DESCRIPTION:The Farmer Review highlighted the issue of workforce and skill shortages\, recently echoed by the Federation of Master Builders who expressed particular concerns about Brexit. \nIf we are to deliver the housing target of 300\,000 pa with the same or reduced workforce and skills we need to make radical changes in what and how we deliver. The adoption of Lean Construction is going to be essential. \nOur speakers will explain the challenges and opportunities this represents\, discussing both the supporting evidence and the practical solutions to achieving this on a large scale. \nAn introduction by Derek Drysdale\, Director and Trustee of the Lean Construction Institute – UK\, will be followed by a presentation by Chris Lee. \nChris qualified as an Architect but has been actively involved in housing projects across Europe as both designer and developer. \nHe is an Associate of Delta Partners practicing lean construction in large scale residential projects in France\, Luxembourg and Belgium and will demonstrate the benefits of adopting lean practice in case studies. \nBook your tickets here

SUMMARY:New Models of Construction Procurement – latest developments in integrated and collaborative approaches
DESCRIPTION:We team up with the CIOB for this presentation by Don Ward\, Chief Executive of Constructing Excellence and Colin Harding\, past President of the CIOB. \nBoth our speakers are no newcomers to working to develop integrated and collaborative ways of working. The Government Construction Strategy identifies three new models of construction procurement: two-stage open book\, cost-led procurement and integrated project insurance. These all aim to facilitate collaboration. The Cabinet Office’s Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) now recommends two of these approaches for the public sector. \nThis event will provide an overview of these models and provide detailed insight into two related developments: the new FAC-1 framework agreement and the IDC Single Responsibility approach as supported by CIOB. FAC-1 is attracting wide-ranging interest and this session will illustrate the new processes and links by which it supports collaboration and improved value. \nWhen:  Wednesday 15th November\nBreakfast  8.00  – 10.00am\nWhere: Trowers & Hamlins LLP\, 55 Princess Street\, Manchester M2 4EW \nPlease put this date in your diary.\nBooking on Eventbrite will commence next week \nFee £10.  Free to members of Constructing Excellence Manchester and CIOB \nThe CE Manchester team look forward to seeing you at our Spring 2018 series.  Planned dates: January 17th\, February 14th\, March 14th.  And don’t forget the members-only evening on 29th November

SUMMARY:Smart Cities – the potential of intelligent infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Digitalization is changing our world. Today the number of connected devices has surpassed the number of humans on the planet. These intelligent devices generate massive amounts of data\, transforming life and business across all sectors. However\, much infrastructure has yet to be transformed by the information age. Instead\, in most places\, trains\, power systems\, buildings\, buses\, and roads have hardly changed in nature and we have only just begun to unlock the potential of fully digitized\, electrified\, information-enabled\, intelligent infrastructure. Doing so will be key to meeting the world’s present and future sustainable development challenges. \nWith a preface by Professor Hisham Elkadi\, Dean and Chair of Architecture at the University of Salford\, Elaine Trimble of Siemens will introduce us to the Smart City and how this will enable us to respond to the challenge of constant change in our urban environment and how digital technological solutions across all infrastructure domains will make cities more efficient\, sustainable and resilient. \nWhen:  Wednesday 11th October\nBreakfast  8.00  – 10.00am\nWhere: Trowers & Hamlins LLP\, 55 Princess Street\, Manchester M2 4EW \nFee £10.  Free to members of Constructing Excellence Manchester \nBook online here \nThe CE Manchester team look forward to seeing you at our Autumn series. \nFurther dates: November 15th Joint with CIOB – New forms of procurement.  Members only evening Wednesday 29th November
