9.30 am Keynote interview –?Asset management: How can construction get the most out of its buildings?
Maximising the performance, efficiency, and productivity of assets in the built environment has long-been on the construction industries agenda. And the importance of why and how the sector can do this cannot be overstated.
In this keynote session hear from Neil Thompson, Atkins’ director of digital construction, as we explore the significance of digital asset management and how the lack of comprehensive data about a building makes it hard to get the most of out of it. We will also discuss how digital innovations can ensure physical assets are as productive and efficient as possible.?

11 am to 12 pm Webinar:?Productivity crunch: How can construction tackle inflationary pressures?
Material and labour shortages are once again plaguing the UK and global construction sectors. What is more is that they are added inflationary pressures to an industry with long-standing productivity issues. So the question becomes – how can new ways of working and technological advances help tackle the problems caused by the latest supply chain issue?
In this session, our panel of experts will discuss what the construction supply chain can do to modernise its process and utilize new technologies and methodologies to help address international labour and product shortages. The panel will also explore the barriers to the implementation of these solutions as well as exploring how those challenges can be overcome.

2 pm to 3 pm Webinar:?The rise of flexible working in construction
Register for free here
Despite the UK now largely entering a post-covid world, it is undeniable that construction businesses are still operating in a vastly different way than what they once did. Clients, contractors, housebuilders, consultants and architects have all employed a much more flexible way of working over the past two years.
In this session, hear from our panel of experts as they discuss how their respective business not only went about mobilising flexible working options but more importantly how they intend to manage it moving forward. The session will explore everything from the business strategies and policies to the digital technologies, applications and programmes that will allow for flexible working to be a mainstay of the construction sector.
April 7th: Webinar How can firms manage the Golden Thread?
Register for free here
Dame Judith Hackitt’s final report, Building a Safer Future, recommended that all high risk residential buildings should have a “Golden Thread of information” detailing how the asset was designed, built and is being maintained. This live document would then be held digitally and exist alongside the physical asset. Now that this recommendation is set to soon become legal requirement – with the Building Safety Law making its passage through law it is imperative construction firms right across the supply chain workout how they will deliver on this.
In this webinar, delivered in partnership with Viewpoint, our panel of experts will discuss not only the importance of the Golden Thread but provide insight into the challenges firms are likely to face when looking to create and manage the digital audit trail and, more importantly, how to overcome these hurdles.

Webinar: How to fund the decarbonisation of your building portfolio
View for free here
With 80% of the building stock that will exist in 2050 already having been built, there is no question around whether it is right to reduce the carbon footprint of existing buildings. But there some key questions around how to deliver it, top of the list being, who pays for it?
In this session, run in partnership with Atkins and Faithful + Gould, our panel of experts will explore how to establish a business case to fund the decarbonisation of a large building portfolio. We will explore how built environment firms can support setting up the business case, from both cost management and engineering perspectives, what this means for asset holders and how to go about securing the financing once a business case is in place.
Register now for the free-to-attend session, which will take place on 29 March at 2pm to hear from the panel. The session will not only provide the chance for the audience to hear from the expert panel, but also raise any questions on the topic they may have.
