In the wake of COVID-19, the global construction industry has seen turbulence in adjusting forecasts and changing expectations, with the impact of lockdowns most acutely felt. At present, some regions have seen quicker recovery in terms of increased workload and market activity, while forward movement is a mixed picture for other regions.
As a consequence of the pandemic, a step change in the way people think about work and travel has been instigated, consequently forcing policymakers to rethink the structure of their economies and organisations to re-evaluate present trends and systems to mitigate against future industry-wide and environmental risks.
Join us at the Construction & PM Conference 2021 as we delve into key developments across the profession, with focus on present trends and key topics; Latest economic outlook, rising material costs, improving construction performance via effective contracts and dispute resolution and mediation.
Hear first-hand from leading industry speakers as we deliver future insights via panel discussions, keynote addresses and case studies; New digital business models, Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and industrialisation, optimising environmental sustainability with new ICMS3 standard, de-carbonisation and emerging challenges, procuring for value, and ultimately, culturally diverse and inclusive workplaces with the view to carry out these new initiatives to the best effect.
