The Big Industry Debate

Should the construction industry control the design of its own products?

Calls for construction managers to take a more pro-active role in the design of what they build have become increasingly loud. But how will this work in practice?

Author Colin Harding BSc Tech Hons, Chartered Construction Manager and Past President CIOB introduces a ground-breaking Code of Practice for Integrated Design and Construction-Single Responsibility.

Taking the form of a brief introduction and a Q&A session you will have the opportunity to challenge and clarify the IDCsr supposition that a totally integrated design and construction process will make it as simple and satisfactory to buy a building as it is to purchase any other high value, warranted manufactured product.

Speakers, including James Wates, and members of the audience will include the CIOB’s working Group which assisted and advised in the drafting of the Code of Practice.
