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

SUMMARY:New construction health & safety regulations: are you ready?
DESCRIPTION:On 6 April 2015\, the long awaited Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 came into force\, bringing into effect changes in the crucial area of health and safety in construction projects. Ensuring that you are ready for these new regulations is therefore fundamental. \nThis informative discussion will examine the increased scope of the new regulations and whether the new roles are simply a re-labelling of the old or whether the new regime will see a fundamental shift in methodology necessitating a change to your underlying approach to managing projects going forward. Our health and safety specialist will also look at the enforcement ramifications of failing to comply with these new duties\, and the potential issues posed by the regulations in terms of future criminal proceedings against the various dutyholders. \n  \nYour Speakers: Rachel Chaplin\, Professional Support Lawyer – Construction and Rod Hunt\, Partner – Health & Safety from Clyde & Co \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Big Cities & Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:Your speaker:  David Rudlin\, URBED \nFor the first time in years housing has been an election issue – we need to be building around 250\,000 new homes every year and are falling short by around 100\,000. For some towns this is a huge problem as they struggle to find additional land for housing in the face of local opposition. Others\, especially the large cities\, see it an opportunity to grow their economy and population. \nSince with winning the Wolfson Economics prize last year David Rudlin of URBED has been working with Sheffield council to explore the implications of housing growth to create an more successful\, sustainable conurbation. He will describe this work and the implications for other cities. \nSign up for your free place:  http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/big-cities-sustainability-tickets-17051973913 \n  \n
