For architects, engineers and construction professionals, training is the backbone of an organisation’s continuous skills improvement; enriching team capabilities and improving client satisfaction.

Training is not a one-time deal though; details get forgotten, Revit and other software gets upgraded, and the technology at the heart of many design and construction processes constantly evolves.

At Excitech, we recommend an integrated approach to developing people’s skills and talent:

• Explore your technology and processes to ensure you have the right things in place for your employees to thrive
• Measure employees’ current skills with a pre-assessment using KnowledgeSmart. Identify their gaps to help develop a training plan
• Enable with training. We offer classroom-based training and an e-learning platform called Pinnacle Series
• Measure how much has been retained from the training with an assessment, again using KnowledgeSmart. Results are recorded to track employee development progress over time
• Certify advanced Autodesk software skills by taking an Autodesk Professional Certification exam. This demonstrates the advanced skills acquired

Join Excitech on Thursday 21^st March 2019 in Birmingham as we walk through how BIM 360 is solving a range of industry challenges and how Bailey Partnership is leveraging BIM 360 to its advantage. There will be live demonstrations supported with insights from guest speaker, Mike Smith RIBA DipArch BA (Hons), Senior Associate and Practice BIM Manager at Bailey Partnership, on his experience with BIM 360. There will also be several opportunities to network and discuss your new learnings with like-minded individuals from the industry.

We’ll run through how BIM 360 Docs helps to solve challenges of creating, sharing and managing project data across project teams and the project CDE. You’ll also learn how BIM 360 Design helps solve challenges of design collaboration and managing dispersed project teams. Finally, we’ll explain how BIM 360 Glue helps solve challenges of coordinating multi-discipline project models across project teams.

Optional evening networking event to be held at Digbeth Dining Club from 6pm onwards for dinner and drinks.

What is the cost of offsite manufactured solutions for residential – is it cost effective & are clients ready to use more offsite to increase capacity?

This is a key Residential Hub event that you shouldn’t miss especially if your interest in offsite housing extends to how much will it cost. This is our first national event and we will be looking closely at the cost of both high and low rise housing; including how affordable they are when compared to different housing tenures and delivery solutions.

This residential hub event will look at how the offsite sector is addressing cost, are clients getting value for money and what capacity is there in the sector to deliver a predictable housing supply to market that gives confidence to clients.

The panel session will include representatives from the speaker sessions together with key players in the sector who have been instrumental in shaping its direction. The panel (together with the audience) will consider the impact of both volume and quality on the costs and what steps need to be taken to ensure offsite solutions are prioritised.

The ASBP’s third annual conference and exhibition will explore ‘Plastics in Construction – Issues, Impacts and Alternatives’

Human health and planetary health are by very definition inter-related…we can’t have one without the other. Since the BBC’s Blue Planet II, the UK has woken up to the problem of plastic in the environment, with some commentators even suggesting that plastic is a greater threat to the planet than climate change. Anti-plastic has rapidly become a popular cause-celebre championed by all mainstream media. So, how should the built environment industry respond? Is the problem limited to single use packaging or are all plastic products a problem to which we must find alternatives?

Our conference will bring together expert thinkers and doers to focus on the thorny challenge of plastic. As usual for an ASBP event, we will take a holistic view by exploring the impacts of plastic products on the health of people, and the planet.

Why plastics?

The impacts and implications of our use of plastic in construction are just beginning to be understood. These impacts span across the whole life cycle from extraction, manufacturing, to toxicity and fire e.g. hydrogen cyanide and continue through to end of life.

The construction industry is the second largest user of plastic, with 20% of plastic waste coming from the construction sector. It is estimated we produce globally 300MT of plastic annually with 50% of this being single use. Piping and conduit are the largest users of polymers in construction and consume 35% of production.

ASBP is not advocating a ‘plastic-free’ built environment. We are a material agnostic organisation who champions optimum outcomes for sustainability. However, we do advocate an approach that wherever possible the use of plastic products in construction should be confined to specialist high value, low volume application areas such as binders, seals, tapes, gaskets and services.

Discussion of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) needs to be in the context of a shortfall of about 100,000 newbuild housing completions per annum against government targets.

Also relevant is the diminishing residential construction labour force due to age, repatriation, and lack of replacement, as spelled out in Mark Farmer’s report, “Modernise or Die” in 2016, and the flight of SMEs from the sector.

Without a very significant volume adoption of MMC, the lost decades of housebuilding will not be clawed back.

RICS Modern Methods of Construction Case Studies Paper

This event launches the RICS Modern Methods of Construction Case Studies Paper on new homes constructed utilising various MMCs.

The paper aims to raise consciousness and confidence about MMC and is aimed at all those who are interested in solving our housing crisis, including designers, surveyors, lenders, investors, developers, constructors, central and local government, housing associations and perhaps most importantly, customers.

The case studies are accredited under the Build Offsite Property Assurance Scheme, which was launched in 2013 by RICS, Buildoffsite, Lloyds Register, Building Life Plans and sets a standard for homes built from non-traditional methods and materials to stand the test of time for at least 60 years.

Expert Panel

Attend this event to hear from an expert panel on these issues as well as gain an insight into the case studies. The keynote speech will be delivered by Mark Farmer, chair of the MHCLG’s MMC Working Group.

In addition, our expert panel will offer their insights into:

• MMC technology
• Delivery of new Housing
• Assurance and insurance
• Requirements of lenders
• Role for surveyors

You will also get the opportunity to engage with fellow surveying professionals, lenders, investors, funders, designers, developers, constructors, and representatives of central and local government and housing associations.

Integrating and maintaining fire safety throughout the building’s life cycle

This launch event will address the key fire safety considerations, building regulations, identify best practice and provide expert knowledge to best advise your clients.

The tragedies of major fire incidents in recent years have cast a spotlight on fire safety standards, building regulations and risk management. Numerous inquiries have found a need for significant improvements and called for professionals operating within the built environment to take accountability for their role in driving fire safety standards within the sector.

This is leading towards a major cultural shift, with consideration of fire safety at every stage of a building’s life cycle essential to ensuring improved outcomes for the industry as a whole. Understanding the core elements are crucial, from design and engineering, to maintaining fire safety during occupation and ensuring ongoing compliance.

RICS Fire Safety Conference brings together leading experts in the field to address the key considerations, identify best practice and adopt strategies to ensure they are adhering to the highest standards.

Attend this conference to benefit from expert discussion around technical content and guidance, including:

• International Fire Safety Standards
• Passive fire protection and insulation

Building and Maintaining a Digital Estate — From Zero to Hero: Establishing the structures, content and supply chain delivery approaches to support better decisions on asset optimisation

Like most large asset owners, Sainsbury’s need to answer questions easily about their estate every day. This is why the one of the UK’s largest retailers has been working with GroupBC to create a ‘Digital Estate’ – a globally accessible, secure web portal, to manage, update and query spatially-located asset information, supporting those making decisions during the asset lifecycle. That this digital estate is created, not from 3D models but from existing 2D drawings, is what makes this BIM solution truly inspiring.

Our guest speaker Michael Barber, System Development Manager for Sainsbury’s, will discuss the challenges Sainsbury’s faced as the retail environment has changed over the past few years, and how they needed to ‘sweat their assets’ as the focus moved from new build.

Attend this webinar to understand:

• Unlock insights from your assets allowing you to answer questions about your estate and speed up your decision making
• Make the most of legacy data and systems without having to commission costly revisions and replacements that could cause confusion
• How to gain greater business value from your existing assets or estate by connecting your model with other data sources

Who should attend:

Suitable for Innovation Directors, Information Managers, Business leaders, business Improvement Directors, Project and Estate managers/directors looking to improve business process efficiencies, project collaboration, accelerate project delivery, optimise asset utilisation and mitigate the risks of loss of information whether in the retail, property, utilities, infrastructure, government, public or private sectors.

Taming the daily deluge of documents, drawings & data for improved project performance

Project information management and document control is easy, right? Since the late 1990’s and the advent of the world wide web, the opportunities presented to construction to revolutionise project delivery through technology adoption have been significant. Fast forward to the present day and we see UK Construction going through its own digital transformation, with many organisations embracing change by reinvigorating and systemising processes and upskilling their people. But practically, how far have we progressed over the last 20 years in the way we manage projects?

Join this webinar on the 24^th May at 10:00 for 1 hour, to hear Stephen Crompton, CTO at GroupBC discuss the practicalities of traditional project delivery through to the heavier weight document control demands of BIM and level 2 compliance.

The webinar will also cover:

• Understanding the client brief – starting with the end in mind and ensuring you are capturing the right information, in the right format at the right time
• Mobilising a Project – setting up an engaging space to meet the diverse demands of your project teams, clients, design teams and supply chain
• From WIP design to drawing issue – streamlining the workflows for verified, assured and approved information flow across your project team and to your client.

The fundamentals of information management and more formal document control have not changed, however technology to support you has! Find out more during this webinar.

Who should attend:

Suitable for Project Directors, Project Managers, Senior Document Controllers, Information Managers, BIM Managers

This webinar is part of the Information Management for Construction Webinar Series

A progressive and phased approach to developing the capability and capacity needed to achieve sustained success

Organisations can no longer ignore the impact BIM is having on our industry – but with 84% of companies failing to achieve real business benefits from their digital transformation programmes (Forbes, 2017), transforming the way you do business is clearly not an easy task.

Whether you’re an asset owner, construction client or provider of goods or services, any organisation embarking on a digital transformation programme – either because they want to, need to, or have to (and in many cases it’s all three) – must have effective leadership in place and a shared understanding across all levels of the business of the need for change if they are to have any chance of achieving sustained success.

Join Paul Shillcock on the 16 May from 10:00 — 11:00 am, to be informed and entertained on the drivers, benefits and challenges of digital transformation from an industry and organisational perspective.

What you will learn

You will gain practical insights from Paul’s experience of supporting organisations around the world to take a progressive and phased approach to developing the capability and capacity they need to achieve sustained success.

Who should attend

If you have been tasked with, or are responsible for, driving business transformation within a team, business unit or organisation and are currently trudging through the plethora of national and industry standards which define BIM, desperately trying to work out where to start, then this webinar is aimed at you.

This webinar is part of the Information Management for Clients, Contractors & Consultants series.

About Paul Shillcock | Principal Advisor | Operam

Paul specialises in the development and implementation of business processes that enable organisations and teams to adopt a collaborative approach to the use, exchange and production of information – often referred to as Building Information Modelling (BIM).

The RICS Quantity Surveying & Construction Conference returns in 2018 to review how the sector is performing, analyse current demands on the industry and its future direction.

While the growth of the construction sector remains positive, the skills shortage and Brexit continues to dominate the industry and cause uncertainty. Hear first-hand views from our expert speakers – CEOs, economists, developers, contractors and more, to discover how to solve and tackle these issues.

The event will be a mixture of high-level strategic debate combined with practical sessions that will positively impact your day-to-day practice. Dedicated technical sessions will examine building contracts, whole life costing and case law updates.

The day will culminate in a debate tying together the conference topics to understand the strategies and new methods of construction needed to respond to today’s, tomorrow’s and the future requirements of the industry.

This is the must attend event for anyone wanting to be at the forefront of the construction sector.

Highlights of the day include:

Economic update – understand current market conditions, results from the latest RICS Construction Survey and discover where we are in the current property cycle

Offsite construction in action – hear a case study of a project that successfully utilised off-site manufacture and whether this new modern method of construction is the future of the industry

Ethics in practice – An interactive session reviewing case studies and scenarios for solving ethical dilemmas in the construction industry
