Good structural design considers constructability. The CDM regulations and Building Safety Act require designs that can be built safely and meet regulations. Structural engineers must be aware of how their designs will be constructed both off-site and on site. A good understanding of the construction process helps improve safety, reduce errors, and improve efficiency in construction. All of which will save money, labour and minimise waste.
Through case studies, panel discussions and technical presentations this conference discusses the knowledge and practical skills structural engineers need to ensure that their designs can be built safely and efficiently. This unmissable conference offers a unique opportunity to delve into the latest trends and technologies that are shaping the future of construction globally.
Programme highlights include:
- A keynote presentation by celebrated engineer Bill Baker, SOM on ‘Why designers need to understand how things are built’
-
Presentations on making the business case and starting the productivity conversation
-
Best practice advice for getting the design right from the beginning, including tools such as 4D modelling
-
Case studies exploring concrete constructability and mass timber design
-
A panel discussion on effective communication and collaboration between contractors and designers
