RICS Nottinghamshire Construction CPD: Flawed from the Start, designing in project failure
27 August 10 01:57 PM | Henrietta Bettison | 0 Comments   

Don't miss the next RICS Nottinghamshire Construction CPD: Flawed from the Start, designing in project failure

Event Details:
In 2009 the Wolstenholme Report [Never Waste a Good Crisis] suggested that construction clients have only a 50:50 chance of delivery to time and on budget. Clients may see this as failure of their design and construction teamSleep.

Seeking strategies to improve this is considered important if client confidence in the construction sector is to improve.

This presentation by Roy Morledge will argue that a structured approach to identifying likely causes or symptoms of potential future failure will enable early warning of later problems with a chance to reduce and manage the associated risks.
