COMPETENCE AND DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
"Our common-sense approach to develop an insurance 'use-case' has been intentionally designed to inspire the adoption of a 'standardised process of information management' (called MIAD). The Minimum Insurable Asset Dataset, will seek to create better outcomes for both insurers and project owners. As such #ProjectIIRIS will remain a 'perpetual' work in progress delivered in phases, the first of which will now kick into a new gear, following an informed discussion (via the Construction Industry Council), with the UK's professional bodies & industry elite, the former of whom have and maintain a global footprint"

With the Single Construction Regulator out for consultation on industry reform; could 'revaildation, every five (5) years?' actually become true for the Built Environment professions?


Always good to catch up with my main contact at RICS, the man like Amit Patel, Head of Professional Practice

After an amazing day of informed conversation and laughter, attendees were invited to reflect and discuss the day, over dinner ............... courtesy of #TeamCIC

Introductory welcome and pre-dinner offerings were delivered by Ian Brant (Chairman) and Dr Graham Watts OBE (CEO), respectively ............. recognising the responsible #leadership by BEFA via the University of the Built Environment (all care of Ashley Wheaton, Vice Chancellor, UBE).


Great to hear the current perspective of another industry leader ....... Mark Farmer, who delivered the 'after-dinner' speech to CIC Members which rather conveniently focussed on the impact of #AI and the risks (and opportunities) to and for, existing business models.
