OrsquoHARE amp MCGOVERN SCORE TWICE For the second year in a row Newry-based construction company OrsquoHare amp McGovern have taken the lsquoOverall Awardrsquo at the Specify CEF Construction Excellence Awards

The Awards Gala Evening saw the firm win the award for its work on the IFA National Football Stadium at Windsor Park The superb new 18000 seater stadium received its official opening the day after the awards took place at the Culloden Hotel It was built within the confines of the existing Windsor Park which remained fully operational throughout the 98 week construction phase facilitating over 200000 spectators at 63 international and domestic fixtures The work involved the demolition of the south and east stands refurbishment and extension of the north and west stands

OHMG designed curved steel

work at the interface of the North East and North West stands to form a Quadrant This curved design helped to create a stadium to enhance the viewing experience of the speactators while at the same time mitigating the impact of noise on neighbouring houses outside the stadiumOur congratulations go to the team at OHMG on their successThere was also some cheer from the latest RICS reportBuilding activity is still rising despite uncertainty in the economy according to the latest RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) and Tughans Northern Ireland Construction Market Survey Workloads were still rising in the third quarter of the year according to Northern Ireland surveyors with only a very modest slowdown in activity relative to Q2

Housebuilding remained a key source of workload growth with private housebuilding activity rising particularly strongly (a

net balance of +48) Private Commercial activity was also rising relatively robustly (+23) according to the survey

In contrast however infrastructure workload growth remained weak (+5) and significantly below the UK average (+17)Looking ahead Northern Ireland surveyors are upbeat about the prospects for growth with a net balance of +50 expecting workloads to be higher in a 12-month horizon

Infrastructure spending is still relatively low in Northern Ireland and the latest developments in the ongoing York Road Interchange does not inspire confidence for the big government spending projects Economist John Simpson looks at the Programme for Government Strategic Investment Boards aspirations for next year and beyondhellip see pages 36 and 37

INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS ATTENTIONThe York Road interchange was in the headlines at the start of December with the estimated cost of pound160million being discussed as prohibitively expensive for what is Northern Irelandrsquos biggest traffic headache The project is designed to alleviate the bottleneck where the M1M2M3 and Westlink all meet and puts Belfast as the third worst city in the UK for traffic jam delays Infrastructure Minister Chris Hazzard announced an lsquointention to proceedrsquo though where the funding will come from remains to be seen The EU originally would have paid 40 per cent of the cost but with Brexit that appears unlikely

Then came the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) fiasco which saw a figure of pound400million being talked about going up in smoke in grants over the next twenty years The

York Road interchange was quickly forgotten about as the RHI scheme put the whole future of Stormont in jeopardy The early days of 2017 still havenrsquot given us a definitive answer on either scheme In this issue John Simpson looks at the Infrastructure plans in the Programme for Government (PfG) and remains unimpressed You can read Johnrsquos thoughts on pages 26 and 27

House Sales ImprovementThere was some good news as 2016 was brought to a close House sales activity in Northern Ireland rose at the fastest rate in over two years according to the latest RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) and Ulster Bank Residential Market Survey

Sales activity dropped in May following changes to stamp duty for second homes and again in the aftermath of Junersquos Brexit vote However there has been a pick-up since September according to the survey with November recording the most widespread rise in sales since August 2014

Prices also continued to edge upwards in November according to respondents whilst new buyer

enquiries remained relatively robust ndash new buyer enquiries had also fallen in the aftermath of stamp duty changes and the EU Referendum but started to pick up again in September

Encouragingly there was also a rise in the number of new homes coming onto the market in November Supply constraints have been a key issue in the Northern Ireland housing market during the last couple of years

Looking ahead expectations for sales and price growth softened slightly but surveyors still expect both to rise over the coming months

RICS Residential Property Spokesman Samuel Dickey commented ldquoA key issue for the housing market has been the impact on transaction activity since the spring But there are signs that the numbers have been edging upwards in recent months particularly in November and may continue to do so into the New Year However the combination of macro uncertainty the on-going supply shortfall - albeit there was a rise in instructions in November - and the myriad of tax changes impacting on buyers suggest that any further pick-up in activity will be relatively modest in the short-termrdquo

Harvey Group acquires Solmatix as part of 5 year growth plan in UK and Ireland

Newtownabbey-based MampE services company Harvey Group has acquired Northern Ireland renewable energy specialists Solmatix Renewables in a move the companies say will transform the renewable energy sector in Northern Ireland and act as a springboard for further expansion into the multi-million pound UK and Ireland renewable energy markets

The acquisition for an undisclosed sum will bring to 110 the number of people employed directly by the Harvey Group in Northern Ireland and Great Britain

With a turnover of pound30 million and over 80 staff Harvey Group has over 30 yearsrsquo experience in the design installation and maintenance of building services within every conceivable kind of building type throughout NI GB and RoI including PharmaceuticalCleanrooms Laboratories Education Government and Healthcare Richard and Norah-Anne Bell founded Solmatix Renewables in 2008 and since then

the company has grown to achieve a turnover of pound6 million with 30 staff operating from its Nuttrsquos Corner premises

As a result of the deal Solmatix will continue to operate as an autonomous and independent company within Harvey Group

Brian Harvey managing director of Harvey Group said there was a perfect fit between the two organisations

ldquoWe have been planning to grow our renewables involvement for some time either organically or through the acquisition of an established player Having worked with Solmatix Renewables on a number of contracts wersquod always been impressed with their engineering rigour and professionalism In fact there seemed to be a natural synergy between our two companies in terms of what we do and how we do it I approached Richard Bell about a year ago to float the idea of our companies coming together but only if there was a good fit After careful consideration we both agreed that this would indeed be mutually

beneficial From my perspective having Solmatix as part of Harvey Group gives us a level of expertise that would have taken us years to acquire otherwise

ldquoHarvey Group and Solmatix share similar values by which I mean our commitment to professionalism our desire to deliver our services to the very highest standards and the importance we place on treating our customers our suppliers and our staff with courtesy and considerationrdquo

Richard Bell the founder and managing director of Solmatix Renewables described the acquisition

as great news for Solmatix its customers suppliers and staff

ldquoIn many respects itrsquos a case of lsquobusiness as usualrsquo However in real terms being part of this larger organisation will give us access to enhanced technical skills financial resources and purchasing power Ultimately I believe this will lead to greater growth and investment within our operations as well as more jobs and job security Itrsquos a win-win relationship thatrsquos good for our whole organisation as well as the economy of Northern Ireland ldquo

In August this year Mascott Construction was acquired by EY Ireland Entrepreneur of the Year finalist Gareth Loye Gareth also heads up MampM Contractors a 30-year-old business providing turnkey telecommunication and electrical infrastructures in civil engineering and construction projects

The multi awarded winning MampM were also recently listed on the Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100 list Garethrsquos plan was to grow both businesses to a combined turnover of pound30m in the next year and grow his workforce to 220 employees

ldquoIt came about as a strategy

from MampMrdquo says Gareth ldquoMascott is a wonderful brand with some wonderful projects We are a growing company and we believe that we could save Mascott and can return it to being the company it once was We are all now in the same building and follow the same vision Mascott and MampM have already tendered for joint ventures between the companies to grow new business The people of Northern Ireland are resilient and the appetite to do deals is still very much here however I want to take this same integrated MampM Group approach and roll it out to our offices in Scotland England amp The Republic of Irelandrdquo

Unrivalled ExperienceThe acquisition means Mascott are

now unique within the construction industry to be able to offer the complete construction management solution lsquoBuild Fit Connect amp Maintainrsquo and this has been reflected with five contract wins across both the public amp private sector in just four short months

It has also given Mascott the chance to dip their toes in the international market Plans are still at early concept stage with financial budgets being approved for building repeater sites but Mascott Construction Canada along with

MampM Group Holland remain a very real prospect indeed

Add to this the rich Mascott history which has accumulated millions of man-hours of experience on a wide range of projects and sectors means therersquos virtually no problem they havenrsquot seen and solved Mascottrsquos skilled craftsmen and women work by hand using traditional methods with a modern twist and their knowledge dedication and passion are part of their vision to be a world-class business generating long-term value by creating successful sustainable places where people aspire to work and live

Itrsquos clear that Mascott feel a real sense of love and pride for the buildings that they have built over the years and this fervour informs their approach to their projects They believe in putting together highly skilled delivery teams which

share this passion amp can be ready for the challenges that lie ahead

Mount Charles

One such recent project has been the successfully delivered Annon House for the Mount Charles Group Mount Charles are Irelandrsquos largest indigenous foodservice and they worked with Mascott to bring their vision for their new headquarters to life

The 10000-square foot Maxol House on Ormeau Road was the former HQ of Botanic Inns and is now home to about 50 of the companyrsquos 2000-strong workforce It is equipped with state-of-the-art technology with a focus on creating an open plan environment with shared spaces and break-out areas that will encourage collaboration between various Mount Charles divisions

The building was officially opened

ldquoThe companyrsquos strong position in what is a very competitive marketplace is indicative of how well run and innovative the business has become over the last three decadesrdquo she added ldquowith the opening of these new headquarters Mount Charles is delivering a statement of intent a vote of confidence in Northern Ireland in its workforce and in the future of the businessrdquo

Cathal Geoghegan Managing Director of Mount Charles said ldquoWe are very excited about this move which we view as a gamechanger for Mount Charles Our revenues as of September 2016 totalled pound31m and we have recently outlined our ambitious plans for the lsquoRoad to pound50mrsquo whereby we aim to achieve revenues of that amount by 2020 We conservatively estimate that our employee figures would rise from 2000 to more than 3000 when we hit that targetrdquo

Going ForwardAs fellow Investors in people

Mascott are also committed to the development of a strong and effective team by maximising the potential of each employee Their recruitment process is designed to ensure the

best candidates are recruited with the current or potential skills and competence to do the job

ldquoWe have been fortunate enough that our endeavours over the years have seen us win many awards and this is the measure of success I want our team to deliver on every project we are involved in which is why I take a personal interest in ensuring our teams are provided with everything they need to deliver to the highest levelsrdquo said Gareth

ldquoWe want to concentrate not just on technical excellence but also on choosing the right people for the task who are passionate about every project they undertake like our two new Contracts Directors Paul Simpson amp Mark Hanna

The acquisition of new business and the real sense of potential in the firm has also seen the business attract new blood from many of its local competitors The new staff all bring with them years upon years of experience and a genuine excitement to progress both their careers and the business

We also felt a rebrand was important we havenrsquot changed the name however a fresh identity better represents our purpose and the breadth and depth of work we do Wersquore going to introduce a completely new website amp social media presence to make it easier to view the impact and variety of

our services and wersquove spent a lot of time thinking about how we can make a lasting contribution to the landscape and the communities we help createrdquo

Could you be saving money on your energy bills As Winter closes in and the heating goes on many businesses are looking at ways to reduce their energy bills Replacing inefficient lighting heating air conditioning units and refrigeration can be one of the best ways to do this as can replacing older inefficient manufacturing equipment

Upgrading to more efficient equipment can pay back within a relatively short period of time with the savings achieved on energy bills being used to offset the cost of the upgrade And over the lifetime of the equipment businesses can enjoy further year-on-year savings

However we know that many businesses struggle to come up with the upfront capital needed to pay for new equipment even when they recognise the opportunity The good news is that there is a great scheme which can help

INTEREST-FREE LOANSInterest Free Energy Efficiency Loans

are available from the Carbon Trust using funds provided by Invest Northern Ireland

Businesses can borrow between pound3000 and pound400000 These loans are interest-free and unsecured and are also designed such that in most cases the monthly energy savings should exceed the monthly repayments [1]

CASE STUDY BEVERAGE PLASTICS

One business which has taken advantage of the Energy Efficiency Loan Fund to deliver real financial benefits is Beverage Plastics Limited which has been manufacturing plastic products in Craigavon for over 30 years

Beverage Plastics uses injection moulding machines on the production line to manufacture carbonated soft drink packaging Driven by an increase in sales and a company mission to reduce energy use and costs the business identified an opportunity to replace three older machines with a new generation blowing machine While being more efficient to run the new machine also reclaims the high pressure air used to blow the bottles and uses it to supply the low pressure air required to run the machine in an earlier part of the manufacturing cycle It also produces bottles at a greater rate significantly lowering the energy consumption per kilogram processed

With the support of an Energy Efficiency Loan the company invested over pound500000 in the new machine but due to the savings on energy maintenance costs and warehousing the investment is expected to payback in under three years Within the first six months the company reported savings of 55 on energy costs and pound12500 on maintenance costs It has also led to a reduction in warehousing costs of pound28000

And from an environment perspective the machinery is expected to save an estimated 700 tonnes of CO2 a year

Peter Larmour Invest NIrsquos Development Manager said ldquoOver the course of the last 3 years Northern Ireland businesses availing of 0 financial support to implement these projects have realised estimated annual savings in excess of pound72mrdquo FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE SCHEME VISIT THE CARBON TRUST WEBSITE AT WWWCARBONTRUSTCOMNI

Hot works on roofing projects managing risk and complying with CDM 2016

New legislation

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016 came into effect on 1 August 2016 Whatever your role is in construction CDM 2016 aims to improve health and safety within the industry One of the most notable changes in the roles is that the CDM coordinator will be replaced by the Principal designer

A Principal designer is defined as a designer appointed by the client in projects involving more than one contractor and they must plan manage monitor and co-ordinate health and safety in the pre-construction phase of a project including identifying eliminating or controlling foreseeable risks

The Principal designer must be knowledgeable of the construction industry and have the relevant skills to oversee health and safety ndash this may be the Architect Building Surveyor or another design team member

Managing risks with hot applied roofing applications

Whilst working at height and burns are the most obvious hazards with roofing works they are far from the only dangers that the Principal designer needs to consider If considering hot applied systems burn injuries and fire risks also have

to be considered yet these can be eliminated straight away by choosing cold applied systems

It is important to remember that the risk of hot works is not only a health amp safety threat to the operatives but could also have implications for the building its contents and its users particularly during refurbishment projects The damage that even a minor fire can cause from flames smoke water and foam is both costly and disruptive

In order to manage safety on site a contractor using hot works may have to control access into and around the building and dedicate someone to perform a fire watch long after the works cease each day in case of smouldering embers igniting the roof

Forward thinkinghellipTraditionally hot works have been

a feature of roofing projects because there was no alternative The UK and Irelandrsquos flat-roofed building stock is characterised by bituminous systems For many refurbishments the default setting for designers is to select a lsquolike-for-likersquo roof covering with patch repairs andor an overlay of a system requiring hot works

There is now a wide array of cold applied systems available giving designers many zero-flame options to consider thus reducing risk Sika offers a choice between liquid applied Sikalastic (also known

as Decothane) systems and single ply roofing systems such as Trocal or Sarnafil Sikarsquos liquid applied and single ply membrane systems can be used for warm roof cold roof and ballasted applications giving the designer multiple reduced risk roof system options that also offer durable robust and reliable waterproofing protection

New technologyAs market leaders in liquid

applied and single ply membranes Sika is constantly researching and developing systems to address common problems faced when trying to waterproof roofs and associated parts of the structure

Some examples of the new systems are outlined below

lsquoSikalastic Rapidrsquo - its function is to quickly waterproof high traffic areas eg walkways and balconies This system can cure in 30-40 minutes allowing the area to be handed back quickly

lsquoSikalastic Low Odourrsquo ndash this was developed to service sensitive areas where odours from liquid membranes can be a problem such as in hospitals schools and food production premises

lsquoSarnafil Self Adheredrsquo single ply

membrane and a range of spray applied adhesives for bonding membranes and insulation boards are now also being used to increase speed of application

Sika - Your partner in flat roofingWith all the challenges that

you face in selecting a suitable roofing system for either new build or refurbishment project please contact us today to make use of our expertise We can review your design brief and provide you with a low risk zero flame solution to suit your project requirements Furthermore with a network of trained and approved contractors and Sika Field Technician site support our aim is to ensure that not only are our systems safer propositions but they will be competently installed again helping to reduce risk

IMPROVED UNDERFLOOR HEATING EFFICIENCY WITH ULTRAFLOreg LIQUID SCREED

Underfloor heating is becoming an ever popular heating system option however historical preconception of underfloor heating systems are that it can take an exuberant time to heat the room or building thus effecting long-term fuel consumption In order to optimize the most effective release of heat as possible for long-term fuel cost savings and heat release efficiency the type of screed used over the underfloor heating pipes should be considered

Advances in floor screeds from RTU Ultrafloreg liquid floor screed means the time taken to increase

room temperature can be much less than using traditional methods such as sand cement screed

RTU Ultrafloreg liquid floor screed is a calcium sulphate hemihydrate liquid floor screed designed to comply with BS EN 13813 2002 It is a pump applied non-cement based material and can be installed up to 10 times faster than traditional floor screeds due to its virtually self levelling and self-compacting qualities It also has the advantage of allowing light traffic after 24 hours which is aided by the much thinner screed depth required a benefit for any project With minimal drying shrinkage and a reduced risk of cracking the need for movement joints are also reduced

University of Ulster conducted a study comparing the heat responsiveness of RTU Ultrafloreg liquid screed with traditional sand cement screed and the results were quite outstanding Ultrafloreg liquid screed is shown

to have a much faster heat responsiveness with underfloor heating than sand cement screed with the room air temperature increasing by 10degC within 3 hours as opposed to 9 and a half hours it took for traditional sand cement screed

Heat efficiency is a long term desired benefit for any heating system but with Ultrafloreg it is proven to provide a more heat responsiveness surface when used with underfloor heating This coupled with the benefit of Ultrafloreg not being a cement based material it dries within rather than being dependent on ambient conditions like sand cement screed and therefore force drying after 7 days will not cause any issue to the finished floor Ultrafloreg material properties reduce the risk of cracking and permit a smooth level floor The installation process Ultrafloreg is also beneficial for any project with improved speed and tidiness of installation compared with traditional sand cement screed

Whilst traditional sand cement screed is the well-known option for floors it does however contain

air pockets in its material mix Since air is a poor conductor of heat this method consequently does not permit the transmission of heat as easily Together with British Standards requirements for traditional sand cement screed laying depth at 75mm when used in conjunction with underfloor heating compared with 50mm laying depth for Ultrafloreg Sand cement screed therefore must be laid at a greater depth than Ultrafloreg liquid screed meaning more material and labour travelling over and around pipework The labour intensive aspect to the installation process involved with sand cement screed means compared with Ultrafloreg it is a much slower process and Ultrafloreg allows installation at a rate 10 times faster

Northern Ireland needs an improved inter-urban roads network improved use of the roads system in urban areas better quality transport services more efficient use of these investments and greater flexibility for different users In each of these respects to sustain the economy there is work to be done

On the trends of the recent past complaints will continue to grow that the management of the arterial roads is inadequate and inefficient and that there is an imbalance of measures to deal with competing demands Unhappily current planning for improving these services to assist rising living standards is too complacent

Official planning should focus on better solutions to ease the problems of inter-urban and intra-urban connections and usage

Now is the opportunity to do

better The Ministerial Executive is consulting with interested organisations on the content of a draft Programme for Government (PfG) from which will emerge an operational agenda on the priorities for the expansion of the economy along with plans for social environmental health and educational improvements

Unfortunately the proposals are excessively modest

To understand the official thinking interested parties must first find and read the 100+ page draft programme and second look for the supplementary papers dealing in more detail on each of the 14 thematic outcomes and examine this with the supporting evidence from 47 statistical performance indicators

For the best of motives Ministers have commissioned a series of documents probably exceeding 500 pages to read if the full range

of ideas is to be challenged The danger is that the faults flaws or too unambitious operational outcomes will go unnoticed until it is too late to provoke constructive challenges Interested observers face a near impenetrable maze of background detail

The Department for Infrastructure is in a central role in tackling the challenge of preparing a programme around the stated outcome of connecting people and opportunities through our infrastructure It is a comprehensive 50+page supplement to the PfG

URBAN CENTRES NEED BETTER CONNECTIVITY TO SUPPORT BUSINESS BY JOHN SIMPSON

John Simpson26|

Infrastructure Minister Chris Hazzard The PfG infrastructure plan is a near impenetrable maze

A core element of the draft operational programme centres on transport planning as it relates to mobility of people and goods in a growing economy Can businesses be assured that both freight and people can travel more quickly than at present can commuters expect a diverse and modern range of services can different types of consumers have good access to commercial premises in the ordinary course of daily living

Unfortunately whilst these are not easy questions the proposed official responses are neither adequate nor reassuring

The Department for Infrastructure offers a comprehensive review of differing aspects of the connectivity questions In summary the Department argues that demographic and economic growth will build demand for an increased amount of travel affecting journey times and the degree of congestion if there are no policy interventions These trends could affect the potential to grow the economy and undermine the attractiveness of NI as a place to live work and invest

lsquoEstimates for trip generation in Belfast as a result of current planned

developments indicate an additional 10000 journeys per hour during the peak period The road network is currently operating at capacity hellip This will constrain growth prosperity and inclusion at the regional and local levelrsquo

The key conclusion reached by the Department is that investment in road improvements alone will not produce significant improvements in journey times Supportive steps must be found to address demand (restrain increases) and improve efficiency In terms of the environmental social and economic trends the Department cannot be seriously faulted That does not justify the complacent approach to the identification of improvements

Unhappily the proposed policies and actions understate the scope for more radical steps and rest on some depressing conclusions that will disappoint agencies with ambitions for a more dynamic growing economy

lsquoThe key arterial routes serving Belfast are at capacity and we will only be able to facilitate the growth of employment and retail by achieving significant modal shift towards public transportrsquo

The key and critical base for the PfG proposals rests on a shift in demand to use more public transport and a strong leverage against the use of private cars The posing of a degree of shift to public transport is logical but the PfG is hostile to an accommodation including some flexibility towards car usage

In extremis the PfG proposals will change the economics of urban retailing demand Urban retail developers will not readily recognise a claim that lsquothere is more than adequate provision of parking opportunitiesrsquo in the main centres

At the core of the PfG restraint on provision for the use of private cars is the belief that Belfast for example cannot meet potential connectivity demands But a focused agenda could first take steps to reduce demand for all-day parking second reform the road system to increase the speed of movement and increase access by reducing on-street parking and third encourage the development of off-street multi-storey parking units Of course market forces could be used to constrain demand but the negative do little official approach is not

what would be expected as living standards rise

The Department for Infrastructure is wedded to policies to lsquoshift the curversquo That is code language for lsquodeter car users and leverage people on to public transportrsquo It is a policy combination that will frustrate retail developments damage urban centre economics and push more employment and investment into suburbia

A better balance of public transport and access for private cars would be laudable However a policy to freeze out access for short stay urban visits by car is an admission of failure in traffic management in what in Northern Ireland are (by international standards) relatively small urban conurbations

Promoting higher living standards is the overall ambition This calls for transport and movement infrastructure that matches the ambition of the wider population Using the experience of other advancing economies connectivity in our larger urban centres can be improved not strangled

NI PROPERTY INDUSTRY URGED TO UNITE TO CREATE MORE AFFORDABLE HOMES AND END RISING HOMELESSNESS A campaign has been launched to urge the property industry in Northern Ireland to help end rising homelessness by delivering more affordable homes

The sector is being urged to look beyond making profit to bring forward housing solutions ndash for instance by seeking out sites that might be suitable to deliver homes on to help housing associations achieve planning permission for new homes and to unlock sites with planning consent that arenrsquot at present coming forward for constructionThe RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) ndash in collaboration with the Homes for Cathy Group - has launched an anti-homelessness campaign known as lsquoA Home for Cathyrsquo It aims to encourage Northern Irelandrsquos property industry to collaborate better to deliver more affordable homes whilst commemorating the 50th anniversary of the highly acclaimed BBC drama Cathy Come HomeRICS which has some 4000 Northern

Ireland members set standards in the land property and construction sectors whilst the Homes for Cathy Group is a UK-wide alliance of housing associations helping to raise awareness of the needs of homeless peopleA roundtable debate was held at RICSrsquo Belfast office to mark the launch of the campaign during which senior representatives from the private public and third sector gathered to discuss modern day homelessness and how the land property and construction sectors can work together better to deliver solutions to create more affordable homesDavid Duly who was Chief Executive of Habinteg Housing Association (Ulster) said ldquoCathy Come Home ignited a public and political debate about homelessness back in 1966 after portraying a young familyrsquos descent into poverty and homelessness It subsequently led to the formation of housing associations and marked a turning point in public perception of people who are homelessldquo50 years on and we are once again in the grips of another housing crisis

it is with this in mind that this campaign will encourage property professionals to see themselves as part of the solution to ending rising homelessness and delivering more affordable homes For example to seek out sites that might be suitable to deliver homes on to help housing associations achieve planning on new homes and to unlock sites with planning consent that arenrsquot coming forward for constructionrdquoHe adds ldquoIn simple terms we want Northern Irelandrsquos property professionals to see beyond maximising profit in bringing forward housing solutions There are already innovative and insightful ideas and solutions out there that we can tap into we just need to collaborate better to deliver themrdquo

NORTHERN IRELAND EXPERTISE AT THE HEART OF pound117M REJUVENATION PROJECT FOR SUNDERLANDIt has taken almost half a million man hours to bring the construction of the new cable stay bridge across the River Wear at Sunderland to its half way completion point

ldquoAnd we are looking at the same level of commitment again to get us over the finishing linerdquo confirmed Farransrsquo Stephen McCaffrey the project director

ldquoThis is a landmark project for the Sunderland area one which will drive forward the strategic development of the city from both a regeneration and future investment perspectiverdquo

Belfast-based Farrans Construction is delivering this unique pound117m development as part of a joint venture with the Belgian steel fabrication company Victor Buyck The project also involves the significant input of other locally-based companies with an involvement in the construction and engineering sectors chief among them Ballymena-based Moore Concrete Products Ltd

The bridge when completed will be 336m long and will facilitate two lanes of traffic on either carriageway along

with a 3m wide shared cycleway ndash footway on each side of the bridge Also included in the development will be 28km of new carriageway It is at the heart of the Sunderland Strategic Transport Corridor The focal point of the new bridge will be a 105m high steel pylon from which will radiate out the cable stays supporting the bridge deck ldquoThis is the most challenging bridge project that we have ever undertaken and the first highways bridge with a cable stay designrdquo confirmed StephenldquoIts complexity has required a tremendous planning input involving ourselves and those other international companies working on the development of the bridgeldquoSite works commenced in May of last year The new structure will be commissioned in advance of its planned opening in spring of 2018ldquoWhen fully operational it will cater for 27000 vehicles per dayrdquoThe bridge project has already been seven years in development with the office bearers of Sunderland City Council making no secret of its strategic importance for the region as a wholeThe physical scale of the project is immense Its completion will require 3000t of steel 4250t of precast concrete decking elements and 100km of cabling Its development has also entailed the input of an

international design teamPrecast business Moore Concrete is manufacturing all of the precast concrete deck units for the new bridge These involve 38 different designs comprising a total of 850 units ranging in weight from 5 to 15 tonnesMoorersquos sales manager Richard Whiteside confirmed that the new bridge is the largest structure which the company has ever supplied components forldquoOver the past number of years we have invested heavily in the manufacturing facilities and skillsrsquo base to allow us commit to projects of this scale And obviously we want to build

on this for the futurerdquo he saidRichard continued ldquoThe Sunderland project has required the co-ordinated input of our own engineering design and manufacturing teams so as to ensure the precast units meet all the required quality standards and that delivery times are consistently achievedrdquoldquoThe pylon which will be pre-fabricated in Belgium should arrive with us on a specialised barge in early 2017 Its erection will follow almost immediately thereafter which should allow us complete the bridge and adjacent road carriageways by early 2018

The inaugural Leader in Construction programme has just come to an

end and the achievements of the 15 participants were celebrated at an event at Nutts Corner Training Centre

Keynote speaker Mike Thompson Department for the Economy congratulated the participants for making time for personal development He continued by saying that both participants and their employers are to be commended and the new ideas connections and enthusiasm the participants have gained will be of great benefit to them in moving the construction industry forward

Attendees at the event also heard from Joe Keenan Combined Facilities Management Ltd one of the programme participants He found that networking with like-minded individuals who were facing the same challenges around managing people delivering projects and working with clients to be greatly beneficial The one-to-one coaching sessions that Joe participated in helped him to apply the learning from the programme to day-to-day challenges In addition Joe has been able to share the learning he gained on the programme with the companyrsquos senior management team something which benefited the whole company as they moved through a major transitional period

Aidan Flynn MD of Flynn also spoke at the event from an employerrsquos perspective outlining the reasons for sending one of his staff on it and the benefits to both the participant and the company In particular Aidan has seen

his employee improve his delegation skills which in turn has allowed him to step away from day-to-day activities and become more strategic coming up with better ideas and strategies This has had a knock-on effect on other employees who have been forced to step up and the company has now developed a 3-year training plan Succession planning and continuity planning are critical in every business and Flynnrsquos are working hard to address this

Both the participants and their employers have praised the ability of the programme to broaden the participantrsquos understanding of business outside of their specialist areas to improve confidence and communication skills and to provide participants with a more strategic focus

Also attending the event were representatives from the Leader in Construction programmersquos sponsors Tughans Farrans and Specify and members of the industry Steering Group who helped develop the programme

Barry Neilson Chief Executive CITB NI closed the event but not before announcing that a second Leader in Construction programme would be commencing in 2017 If you have a high potential candidate in your organisation who would benefit from this programme or if you want to gain the right skills to elevate your career and company to the next level then visit wwwcitbniorguk for more information Alternatively e-mail leaderinconstructioncitbniorguk for more information

News in Brief

FEDERATION COMMENTS ON OCTOBER MONITORING ROUNDCommenting on the Northern Ireland Executiversquos October Monitoring Round and the First Step Stimulus

package Construction Employers Federation Managing Director John Armstrong said

ldquoWithin the context of a local construction industry facing a significant sustainability challenge any stimulus package is to be welcomed The pound15m announced today for roads structural maintenance will have immediate economic benefits both for the communities in which identified schemes are located as well as the economic and employment opportunities that will flow In addition the pound5m regeneration fund is a welcome step and we look forward to more detail on the projects identified for it in January The further reallocations to health and education capital spending are also a welcome reassessment of priorities at this stage in the financial year

ldquoThese latter reallocations appear to be based on returned monies on projects in-year such as the Mother and Childrenrsquos Hospital Within this context it is somewhat surprising that some form of announcement wasnrsquot made in respect of the A5 and A6 given that with five months left of the financial year it is doubtful that pound342m will be spent on the two schemes combined by the start of April

ldquoAs the Finance Minister said much of the focus will now fall on the Chancellorrsquos Autumn Statement on 23 November Looking ahead to a more detailed Executive stimulus package after this statement it is absolutely vital that Ministers and senior officials do as much as they can to get schemes shovel and procurement ready While the quantum of funding the UK Government may provide and indeed any strings that will be attached to the spending of that money are yet to be identified we must make sure we maximise the economic benefits of the funding The construction industryrsquos lifeblood is not just the major schemes that have got so much attention in recent weeks but also the education health and road schemes such as the Ballynahinch and Enniskillen bypasses whose economic benefits cannot be doubted The pound200m local council borrowing initiative which the Minister briefly noted would also be a hugely important development in widening the financial clout of Northern Ireland Plcrdquo

On the Investment Fund Mr Armstrong said

ldquoThe clarity in the role of the European Investment Bank is to be welcomed but having pound775m of unallocated Financial Transactions Capital is undoubtedly a concern While it is welcome to hear that the Minister has had a positive engagement with the Chief Secretary to the Treasury on flexibility around the Fund it is no clearer to us at this stage how the money which would be of huge benefit to the construction industry will be spent We look forward to hearing further detail on the working of the Fund with the new flexibility now agreed in due courserdquo

EXECUTIVE CANNOT FAIL ON INTERCHANGE SCHEMECommenting in respect of the delay on the York Street Interchange scheme CEF Managing Director John Armstrong said

ldquoAlthough the impact of the Brexit vote on the original financial plan for the Interchange cannot be doubted it is nonetheless extremely disappointing that the bidding exercise has now been extended With certainty around future pipelines of work for main contractors and their supply chains a major issue projects like this are absolutely vital to the sustainability of the local construction industry It is critical that the Department and indeed the wider Northern Ireland Executive speedily addresses how the scheme can be advanced We are often too quick to rule out other forms of alternative finance when it comes to our infrastructure needs it is arguable that the Interchange is now the opportunity to reconsider that approach

ldquoIndustry has also been clear in its support for the Northern Ireland Executiversquos wider flagship infrastructure programme including schemes like the A5 and A6 However we have also been just as clear that when it comes to enhancing Northern Irelandrsquos attractiveness as a region to do business and invest in as well as enabling indigenous firms to meet their growth potential we need a capital city that in every sense works From a transport point of view the Interchange is fundamental to making sure Belfast and Northern Ireland works

ldquoBudgets are of course tight the unexpected closing off of certain funding streams like the EU is of course a challenge the importance of delivering the A5 and A6 cannot be doubted ndash but the economic case for delivering the Interchange scheme this side of 2020 is really not something that we can afford to fail onrdquo

News in Brief

INDUSTRY WELCOMES BELFAST HUB CONSULTATION

Commenting after Translink announced a public consultation on plans for the Belfast Hub Construction Employers Federation Managing Director John Armstrong said

ldquoThe Hub is a hugely important scheme not just for Belfast but for all of Northern Ireland It is critical not just for further growth in the use of public transport but also for enhancing Northern Irelandrsquos attractiveness as a region to do business and invest in Accompanied by the plans for the DerryLondonderry Transport Hub the two schemes will be of major benefit to the community that they serve and in respect of their job creation potential both within the construction industry and beyond

ldquoIn its 201617 Budget the Northern Ireland Executive set aside approximately pound120m over four years for the design construction and completion of the Belfast Hub Along with the York Street Interchange however there is some uncertainty as to how elements of the scheme will be funded given the vote in June to leave the EU It is critical that these challenges are confronted head on and in an innovative way With half of the site set aside for commercial development a range of funding options are undoubtedly on the table and we would strongly advocate that these are given full and prompt examination

ldquoGiven the significant sustainability challenges that the local construction industry is currently facing it is absolutely vital that construction begins on schedule in 2018 as it will be a welcome boost to both main contractors and the supply chain The scheme will also unquestionably lead to the creation and sustaining of hundreds of construction jobs For these reasons and for its wider economic benefits the Hub is a vital investment that deserves Northern Irelandrsquos full supportrdquo

INDUSTRY GIVES POSITIVE WELCOME TO AUTUMN STATEMENTCommenting after todayrsquos Autumn Statement by the Chancellor Construction Employers Federation Managing Director John Armstrong said

ldquoSince Junersquos vote to leave the European Union UK-wide data on both GDP and the monthly Purchasing Managers Index has painted a very bleak picture for our industry The additional pound250m of capital expenditure over the coming 4 years announced by the Chancellor today is therefore a welcome boost for the local construction industry building on the First Step Stimulus announced by the Finance Minister last month Todayrsquos announcement is also a positive reflection on the pressure that the Northern Ireland Executive particularly the Finance Minister has put on the UK Government in recent months to recognise the particular economic challenges that we face

ldquoAll eyes will now turn to the publication of the Executiversquos 2017-21 Budget especially for capital expenditure on 19 December This must deal with the key challenges that industry has highlighted in recent months

bull Reinforcing the need for greater accountability around the timely delivery of the Executiversquos infrastructure pipelinebull The need for a multi-year budget approach for road maintenancebull A clear path towards the delivery of the York Street Interchange and Belfast Transport Hub projects including the full examination of alternative forms of finance to achieve thisbull The widening of the budget envelope available to the Northern Ireland public sector to invest in capital expenditure notably via local council borrowing andbull A timeframe for the taking forward of the Northern Ireland Investment Fund as alluded to by the Finance Minister in the Assembly yesterdayThese are the investment and jobs critical challenges that our Executive faces in the short to medium term and we look forward to engaging with Ministers and officials on these in the run up to 19 Decemberrdquo

On the Apprenticeship Levy Mr Armstrong said

ldquoAs had been expected the Government is pressing ahead with the introduction of the new Levy in April 2017 as planned From the perspective of the construction industry this again reinforces the need for the immediate publication of a Northern Ireland consultation on the matter and a Northern Ireland-specific employer guide In addition there must be further reflection on the fact that the construction industry already pays a statutory levy to the Construction Industry Training Board and this will continue post-April The new Levy will therefore impose a significant additional financial burden on many of Northern Irelandrsquos leading contractors when many continue to face significant sustainability challenges as a result of modest pipelines of work and incredibly tight margins specifically but not solely on public sector projectsrdquo

NOTICE OF PROMULGATION ndash WAGES amp OTHER BENEFITSThe Joint Council for the Building amp Civil Engineering Industry (Northern Ireland) has decided to promulgate the changes to wages and other benefits effective from Monday 21 November 2016

Northern Ireland is currently leading the way in the UK with the industryrsquos electrical Licence to Practice (LtP) system


How does LtP work

The industryrsquos LtP initiative is the first of its kind in the UK PGN 0116 requires that only licenced electricians and workers are employed to undertake electrical installation work on behalf of Government clients This means that any electrical workers undertaking work on government construction projects must be Licenced to Practice

A unique system has been developed that connects the competency of individual electrical workers on a project by project basis by licence type This appears in the form of an online workforce composition report providing the client with visibility transparency and reporting tools that deter fraud and encourage improved contract performance

Why was it developed

Quality improvement and value for money are the drivers for LtP At the present time there are circa 2500 to 3000 practising electrical workers in Northern Ireland Over half of these workers are dependent on projects emanating from the Public Sector Significant numbers of electrical workers are either unqualified or underqualified for the work that they are tasked to carry out LtP is aimed at providing the client with a resource to discern and select the preferred electrical contractor based on the competency and composition of their direct and sub-contracted workforce The system is primarily designed to highlight the competency of electrical workers to the client A secondary purpose of the system is to help motivate and steer unqualified and underqualified workers to meet acceptable client and industry standards

Main Contractor Responsibilities

If awarded the contract the main contractor will be required to

bull Register with the LtP system bull Ensure that any sub-contractor(s) undertaking electrical work isare registered with the same LtP system bull Ensure timely connections are made with electrical contractors and workers via the LtP system bull Ensure that all electrical workers employed to undertake electrical work on the contract are Licenced to Practice

Monitoring and Compliance by the Main Contractor

It is important that implementation of the LtP requirement is monitored throughout the project As part of this the Main Contractor is required to provide appropriate evidence to demonstrate compliance with the LtP requirements This includes but is not limited to verification via self-declaration by the main contractor by carrying out onsite identification checks of electrical workers against records held in the LtP database by facilitating random on-site inspections by the LtP system provider and by reports extracted from the LtP system indicating the composition of the electrical workforce by Licence Type

Next Steps

If you are a Main Contractor and are wholly or partly dependant on Public Sector contracts you are advised to register your business with SparkSafe via the online application at wwwsparksafeltpcouk Registration for main contractor is free Now is a good time to assess your readiness and compliance with the requirements of the electrical Licence to Practice system

Mascotts most recent project has been the successfully delivered Annon House for the Mount Charles Group Mount Charles are Irelandrsquos largest indigenous foodservice and they worked with Mascott to bring their vision for their new Headquarters to life

The 10000-square foot Maxol House on Ormeau Road was the former HQ of Botanic Inns and is now home to about 50 of the companyrsquos 2000-strong workforce

It is equipped with state-of-the-art technology with a focus on creating an open plan environment with shared spaces and break-out areas that will encourage collaboration between various Mount Charles divisions

The building was officially opened in December by First Minister Arlene Foster who thanked Mascott Construction Europe and praised Mount Charles as a ldquohuge Northern Ireland success storyrdquo

ldquoThe companyrsquos strong position

in what is a very competitive marketplace is indicative of how well run and innovative the business has become over the last three decadesrdquo she added ldquowith the opening of these new headquarters Mount Charles is delivering a statement of intent a vote of confidence in Northern Ireland in its workforce and in the future of the businessrdquo

Cathal Geoghegan Managing Director of Mount Charles said ldquoWe

are very excited about this move which we view as a gamechanger for Mount Charles Our revenues as of September 2016 totalled pound31m and we have recently outlined our ambitious plans for the lsquoRoad to pound50mrsquo whereby we aim to achieve revenues of that amount by 2020 We conservatively estimate that our employee figures would rise from 2000 to more than 3000 when we hit that targetrdquo

Annon House ndash a gamechanger for Mount Charles

The Reception at Annon House

Cathal Geoghegan Managing Director Mount Charles tells Specify about the problems Mount Charles faced in finding a new headquarters in Belfast and how purchasing the former Maxol House and converting it into state of the art premises will support the catering companyrsquos ambitious growth strategyhellip

Wersquod been looking for new premises for around five years initially for a head office with adjoining warehouse

space that could house our vending cleaning and security divisions

It became clear that finding one building in Greater Belfast to suit our diverse needs was going to be next to impossible and so we moved to Plan B which was a separate HQ and warehousingIn 2014 our vending cleaning and security operations moved into a 14000 sq ft site on Montgomery Road while the search for the main HQ continuedThen in December 2015 we were successful in our bid for Maxol House on the Ormeau Road and from that moment it was very much all systems go

A tender process saw Mascott Construction successful in winning the contract to carry out an extensive refurbishment project which began in May 2016 and led from our side by Project Manager Gavin Annon

We were clear about what we wanted a new headquarters that would reflect not only the innovative way in which we do business but also our commitment to the future of Mount Charles

The building had been vacant for four years so was in some disrepair and in any case we wanted a very different look and feel to what was already in place

To ensure each of the three floors in the 10000 square foot office would be bright and airy we pulled down walls and false ceilings to create a fit for purpose open-concept space

with industrial touches and high-tech features

The renovated building now named Annon House after our company Chairman includes offices with floor to ceiling glass windows colourful break-out areas on every floor for

informal meetings project rooms and even a putting green

Wersquove also installed a kitchen on each floor including a demonstration

kitchen that our Group Development Chef will use for training and to develop new food offerings

Refurbishing older office space is

Cathal Geoghegan Managing Director of mMount Charles

The Building now includes formal and informal meeting rooms

The offices are open concept with colourful break out areas

expensive - we invested a figure close to pound16 million - and takes time almost a year in our case

It might have been cheaper and quicker to find another space to lease but while finding the right place to buy was a challenge it was very important to us to do so

It ultimately paints a bigger picture of what wersquore trying to achieve as a company demonstrating our commitment to both our people and the wider economyOur vision was to create an innovative high-tech space that would encourage increased collaboration between our 50-strong head office team

We moved from our old premises on Shaftesbury Square in mid October and already we are reaping the benefits Irsquove seen better communication between departments more brainstorming more creativity and crucially more productivity and focus on where wersquore going as a business

Our employees are we hope filled with a renewed sense of motivation and we believe that our state-of-the-art new home will also prove to be very attractive when it comes

to attracting talent in the future

We view the investment in Annon House as a lsquogamechangerrsquo for Mount Charles and one which will support our ambitious growth strategy as we move towards and beyond our 30th year in business

Walls and false ceilings wersquore taken down to create a bright airy space

Annon House now includes a putting green

Mount Charles has invested close to 16million on Annon House

A new gas line was installed ndash running up the side of the building - to supply the new boiler house and the redundant boilers were removed from site once the new installation was fired up Delivering a project of such complexity with a minimum of fuss epitomises Hanna Mechanical Servicesrsquo ability to successfully complete projects in a practical contemporary prompt and cost-effective mannerThe business has grown organically during the 14 years since Gary Hanna set it up as a company structure providing high-quality mechanical services installations all over the UK including recent projects in the Shetland

Islands and London Employment is structured directly for a team of vastly experienced management and on tools personnel Gary has a strong belief in training apprentices and staff to

his own high standardsHe admits it was humbling to be recognised at the NI Plumbing amp Heating Awards but concedes that picking up

such accolades is not particularly high on his list of priorities ldquoProviding quality workmanship and keeping my staff in work are the main things driving this businessrdquo

What are the keys to achieving thisldquoAnswering to customersrsquo needs I do a lot of one-on-ones with clients and I always make sure they are happy with the work ndash both before and after completion and that itrsquos on time and efficient Each job is different and you have to be flexiblerdquo A good example of the varied nature of work carried out is the recent installation of a still at Shortcross Ginrsquos Rademon Estate Distillery in Crossgar ISO 9001 certified since 2006 Hanna Mechanical Services pride themselves on the work they have carried out and gained a solid reputation within the industry for their ability to work within increasingly tight contract programmes while maintaining a high level of workmanshipWorking closely with private clients contractors architects and mechanical consultants Hanna Mechanical Services offers a vast range of services such as heating from domestic to steam works plumbing HVAC renewable energies compressed air and sprinkler systemsSuch is the demand for Hanna Mechanical Services quality workmanship that typically Gary could be overseeing up to six or seven projects at any one given time Alongside Danske Bank throughout Belfast and Antrim other recent projects include GPS Printers Belfast Ballymoney High School Sumburgh Airport on the Shetland Islands an apartment block development in Camden Town London and ongoing factory extensionsupgrades plus maintenance works at Mash Direct in Comber Newtownards Maintenance contracts account for up to 40 of business including regular work for Almac Pharmaceuticals in Portadown Hanna Mechanical have also carried out a variety of refurbishment and maintenance work at Belfast City Hospital including a demanding project to supply and install four plate heat exchangers to replace the old inefficient steam calorifiers where the programming and coordination proved critical as

the LPHW heating system had to remain fully operational throughout the duration of the project requiring intensive onsite coordinationOver the years Hanna Mechanical Services have also provided mechanical works to Royal Victoria Hospital Belfast Merchant Hotel Gateway Hotel Cliftonville Football Club Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Carryduff OrsquoReilly Stewart Solicitors Castlecourt Shopping Centre Ivex Pharmaceuticals Glenview Hotel Henry Moore Building and Ulster Farm By-products Ltd Looking to the future Gary Hanna is confident that further growth can be achieved ldquoIrsquom confident that therersquos a market there for ldquogreenrdquo buildings and as the market grows we are in a good position to organically grow as a businessrdquo he concludes ldquo Our clients are looking for us to come up with solutions that are value-engineering to gain the best install while keeping a high integrity including factoring in the most efficient system to keep on time and within budgetrdquoThe signs are encouraging that this exceptional mechanical services contractor can continue to go from strength to strength

Time to plan ahead and achieve a level of stability HaysBy Mark Wade Director at Hays Northern Ireland

It would be an understatement to describe 2016 as a year of uncertainty

Rebounding from an unexpected Brexit referendum result many of us were surprised once again by the unanticipated result of the US presidential elections at the end of the year

Wersquore going to be dealing with the implications of 2016 for a long time to come But things are settling down We now know what is coming towards us in 2017 and the challenge will be to plan ahead and achieve a level of stability and to do this the construction industry needs to urgently address the skill shortages it faces

At Hays we are proud to be partners of The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) whose Work+ apprenticeship scheme is a great example of where the government professional bodies and employers can work productively toward a common goal

Work+ was launched by the

Department for the Economy in June when 24 employers put 50 new civil engineering apprenticeships on offer

Organisations are finding it increasingly tough to attract engineers with the right mix of skills at intermediate and pre-chartered level across all specialisms This stems from a relative lack of graduates entering employment in the sector between 2008 and 2012

So this scheme answers both the immediate and long term needs of the profession It allows apprentices as young as 16 to earn as they learn to gain invaluable industry experience and to set their feet on a direct pathway to higher levels of professional and technical work

Not only is it an excellent way to bring new talent into the industry but the scheme is open to school-leavers as well as older entrants who are retraining

Apprentices can progress right up to Masterrsquos degree equivalent or they can step away from the scheme at the stage that suits

themThe scheme is open to men and women transitioning from other professions and seeking higher level jobs Work+ is an excellent way to achieve EngTech IEng and CEng professional qualifications with ICE which are recognised around the world

With major infrastructure projects such as York Street Interchange Belfast Transport Hub and the dualling of the A5 and A6 and on-going work to improve both the water treatment and water supply in the province it is critical that this skills shortage is addressed And ICE Regional Director Richard Kirk tells us that the industry is looking to the future and focusing on maintaining the skills pipeline

He also feels there are strong opportunities ahead driven by technological development and innovation

ldquoWe want to make the most of the opportunity apprenticeships schemes offer the industry and to make the industry attractive to young people and also to their parentsrdquo he says

ldquoBut in making the profession attractive we have other questions to answer such as what is the role of the civil engineer in an increasingly digital world Very often organisations are recruiting for jobs which did not exist only a few years ago 2017 will be a year to explore and complement technological changes with our minds set firmly on professional and skills developmentrdquo

Our shared aim through this partnership with ICE in 2017 is to welcome new entrants to the profession and meet the demand for skills As a key part of that scheme Hays is sponsoring a series of evening events at the prestigious MAC arts centre in Belfast where some of our foremost civil engineering and infrastructure projects are showcased

To find out more about Hays Northern Ireland log on to hayscoukni or follow us on Twitter HaysN_Ireland If you want to learn more about Work+ email iceniiceorguk

ICE Regional Director Richard Kirk kicks off the Innovation Debate at W5 on 8 December The panel included Kieren Harte (Uber Ireland amp Northern Ireland) Emer Murnaghan OBE (GRAHAM) Dr Joanne Stuart OBE(Catalyst Inc) and David Clarke (McAvoy Group)

WORKING AT HEIGHT

MARCH APRIL 2017

Specify talks to ALEX LONGRIDGE COMMERCIAL SALES MANAGER IRELAND AG (Acheson + Glover)Q Did you plan to get involved in the construction industry

No throughout school my parents had planned for me to follow a career in banking Despite their best efforts I chose another path Got to say itrsquos a decision Irsquove never regretted Construction as a sector has been through a lot of ups and downs in my lifetime but itrsquos great to see the steady resurgence post recession

Q How did you start off

My first sales role was with Xerox where I learnt the basic truths of sales that people buy from people and that building trust with your customers is vital

Q What have been the highlights of your career so far

Developing into my role as a leader within AG and being able to share my knowledge and experience with an ever increasing field sales team Itrsquos been terrific to see AG thrive especially in recent years to become a company known throughout the industry for its innovation quality and focus on strong working relationships

Q What was the best piece of advice yoursquove been given

Be honest moral decent and above all trustworthy These are values I have sought to portray myself and instil in others around me

Q What would you say to any students who are considering a career in construction

Get in there Construction is a fast-paced rapidly evolving sector that is crying out for top young talent whether that be as engineers architects quantity surveyors tradesmen or any one of the wide range of roles in manufacturing companies like ours As a result of the recession the industry has been robbed of a lot of its young people so itrsquos really important we re-establish a pipeline of young talent so companies can address the acute skillsrsquo gaps and create true succession plans At AG

we have launched our own training and development programme for people at all levels of the business For us it is all about building careers and helping our people do that

Q Do you think the construction sector needs more support from Stormont

As a major source of employment within Northern Ireland itrsquos vital the construction sector receives all the support it can get Itrsquos encouraging to know that we have a number of

industry bodies which meet with Assembly members and Ministers on a regular basis to keep the needs of the construction sector front of mind

Q What needs to be done to help the NI construction sector

Stormont needs to unlock funding to meet the deficit we have in housing as well as finding the necessary capital to fund much-needed infrastructure projects all of which will help create employment opportunities for the sector Ongoing monetary support for

training and employment incentives is also vital

Q Tell us something surprising about yourselfhellip

I love vintage cars My dream classic car would be the Porsche 917K that Steve McQueen had in the film Le Mans On the speeds at which he was driving the 917 Steve told John Skow from Playboy Magazine ldquoItrsquos capable of 240 ndash but I donrsquot take it up to full chat Most times Irsquom hitting 225 or sordquo Great actor fabulous car

OrsquoHARE amp MCGOVERN SCORE TWICE For the second year in a row Newry-based construction company OrsquoHare amp McGovern have taken the lsquoOverall Awardrsquo at the Specify CEF Construction Excellence Awards

The Awards Gala Evening saw the firm win the award for its work on the IFA National Football Stadium at Windsor Park The superb new 18000 seater stadium received its official opening the day after the awards took place at the Culloden Hotel It was built within the confines of the existing Windsor Park which remained fully operational throughout the 98 week construction phase facilitating over 200000 spectators at 63 international and domestic fixtures The work involved the demolition of the south and east stands refurbishment and extension of the north and west stands

OHMG designed curved steel

work at the interface of the North East and North West stands to form a Quadrant This curved design helped to create a stadium to enhance the viewing experience of the speactators while at the same time mitigating the impact of noise on neighbouring houses outside the stadiumOur congratulations go to the team at OHMG on their successThere was also some cheer from the latest RICS reportBuilding activity is still rising despite uncertainty in the economy according to the latest RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) and Tughans Northern Ireland Construction Market Survey Workloads were still rising in the third quarter of the year according to Northern Ireland surveyors with only a very modest slowdown in activity relative to Q2

Housebuilding remained a key source of workload growth with private housebuilding activity rising particularly strongly (a

net balance of +48) Private Commercial activity was also rising relatively robustly (+23) according to the survey

In contrast however infrastructure workload growth remained weak (+5) and significantly below the UK average (+17)Looking ahead Northern Ireland surveyors are upbeat about the prospects for growth with a net balance of +50 expecting workloads to be higher in a 12-month horizon

Infrastructure spending is still relatively low in Northern Ireland and the latest developments in the ongoing York Road Interchange does not inspire confidence for the big government spending projects Economist John Simpson looks at the Programme for Government Strategic Investment Boards aspirations for next year and beyondhellip see pages 36 and 37

Pat Burns Editor

Be wise whenyou advertise

Look for the ABC stamp of trust An ABC certificate provides accurate independently verified circulation figures giving you confidencein your advertising investment wwwabcorguk

INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS ATTENTIONThe York Road interchange was in the headlines at the start of December with the estimated cost of pound160million being discussed as prohibitively expensive for what is Northern Irelandrsquos biggest traffic headache The project is designed to alleviate the bottleneck where the M1M2M3 and Westlink all meet and puts Belfast as the third worst city in the UK for traffic jam delays Infrastructure Minister Chris Hazzard announced an lsquointention to proceedrsquo though where the funding will come from remains to be seen The EU originally would have paid 40 per cent of the cost but with Brexit that appears unlikely

Then came the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) fiasco which saw a figure of pound400million being talked about going up in smoke in grants over the next twenty years The

York Road interchange was quickly forgotten about as the RHI scheme put the whole future of Stormont in jeopardy The early days of 2017 still havenrsquot given us a definitive answer on either scheme In this issue John Simpson looks at the Infrastructure plans in the Programme for Government (PfG) and remains unimpressed You can read Johnrsquos thoughts on pages 26 and 27

House Sales ImprovementThere was some good news as 2016 was brought to a close House sales activity in Northern Ireland rose at the fastest rate in over two years according to the latest RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) and Ulster Bank Residential Market Survey

Sales activity dropped in May following changes to stamp duty for second homes and again in the aftermath of Junersquos Brexit vote However there has been a pick-up since September according to the survey with November recording the most widespread rise in sales since August 2014

Prices also continued to edge upwards in November according to respondents whilst new buyer

enquiries remained relatively robust ndash new buyer enquiries had also fallen in the aftermath of stamp duty changes and the EU Referendum but started to pick up again in September

Encouragingly there was also a rise in the number of new homes coming onto the market in November Supply constraints have been a key issue in the Northern Ireland housing market during the last couple of years

Looking ahead expectations for sales and price growth softened slightly but surveyors still expect both to rise over the coming months

RICS Residential Property Spokesman Samuel Dickey commented ldquoA key issue for the housing market has been the impact on transaction activity since the spring But there are signs that the numbers have been edging upwards in recent months particularly in November and may continue to do so into the New Year However the combination of macro uncertainty the on-going supply shortfall - albeit there was a rise in instructions in November - and the myriad of tax changes impacting on buyers suggest that any further pick-up in activity will be relatively modest in the short-termrdquo

Infrastructure Minister Chris Hazzard with Chris Conway CEO of Translink at a recent announcemet of pound10 million funding for 45 new buses but will NI get the road upgrades it so badly needs
