Senate’s John Walsh and Christopher Walsh were in Leeds for the fast-growing real estate event UKREiiF and came away energised with new knowledge, inspiration, insights and connections. One of the standout sessions was a discussion sponsored by Calfordseaden on achieving the government’s NetZero target by 2050 and Manchester’s eye-popping goal of doing so 18 years sooner. This was Senate Director John’s second trip to UKREiiF, which takes place at the impressive Royal Armouries, and this time he was accompanied by Chris, our head of contract and commercial. The event, now in its third year, comprises a conference, seminars, exhibitions and wall-to-wall networking opportunities within the Royal Armouries and at multiple venues across the city centre. Inside the exhibition hall, sheltered from a Yorkshire downpour on day two, John and Chris saw a noticeable increase in smaller businesses with stands, particularly of technology and software vendors. Senate’s suggestion to make the exhibition hall more vibrant and interactive would be to allow exhibitors to showcase their service offerings and innovations. This would make the hall more interactive and inviting. With more than 12,000 delegates, 800 speakers across 40 stages and 150 exhibitors, UKREiiF effectively showcased the power of innovation, collaboration, and forward thinking. It was also a fantastic opportunity to make new connections and strengthen existing ones. Our team came away from Leeds feeling enthused, inspired and optimistic about the future.

The Building Safety Act, and equally importantly compliances with the Building Refulations 2024 will bring long awaited and substantial changes, focusing on enhancing safety and accountability in the construction sector. On the downside, getting it wrong at #Gateway may mean unrecoverable delay costs and application of damages by the Employer. #Compliance will necessitate adjustments in project management, documentation, and #projectcontrols. #projectsafety #cladding #principaldesigner #buildingcontrol. #contract #commercial #projectmanagement

UKREiiF setting out the challenges of existing housing stock which, according to the speakers, 40% is built pre-1942. Also, the planning hold ups preventing sustainability being executed at scale. #Manchester has said that they plan to deliver net zero, 18yrs before the rest of the country. The question remains that there is an identifiable skills and technology gap which will hamper the objectives towards net zero. #CalfordSeadon #contractmanagement #commercialmanagement #healthandsafety #principaldesigner #UKREiiF

An interesting talk sponsored by Kier Group and The Power of Alliancing. As one speaker said this aligns with the #ConstructionPlaybook. A broader portfolio perspective helps unlock benefits where individual projects may flounder. #UKREiiF #partnering #construction #commercial #management #healthandsafety #KIER

Thanks to Structura for posting this. #Mental #Health becomes your attitude and how you feel about yourself, and others. Construction is such a volatile business with highs, and lows. We all need, from time to time, someone you talk to or relate with. Sometimes to re set oneself.

We are always pleased to support our clients in the best way possible, this client approached us on a recommendation and we coached him to prepare his reply to a specious claim. #senateconsulting #contract #commercial #support #coach #projectmanagement
