MANAGING RISK
THE VIEWS OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT PROFESSIONAL
This is an opportunity to listen to experts from the built environment professional community on their views of risk.
This has been stimulated by the emerging issues of the low carbon economy, investment in infrastructure, building information modelling, reduction in construction costs, energy investment and whole life value.
The construction industry has been engaged in a dialogue with government over the last few years that has resulted in construction being identified as a driver for economic growth. However, this can only be achieved if everyone engaged in the process understands the issues that their fellow professionals recognise and the importance those issues have in making decisions.
Therefore the aim of this meeting is to start a process of developing a broader view of construction risk through an inclusive engagement of built environment professionals so that risks can be placed in context and effectively mitigated to reduce the overall economic, environmental and social cost of construction.
Programme:
14:00
