SUMMARY:Circular economy\, whole life approaches and MMC
DESCRIPTION:The Constructing Excellence Offsite Manufacturing & Technology Group is holding an online meeting to consider the role of circular economy and whole life approaches and the role MMC has to play in this important area.  As we move to a more sustainable and net zero carbon society we need to consider the whole life implications of our buildings and assets.  As MMC makes it easier to design and construct buildings and assets we take a look at the whole life aspects of this and how MMC can contribute to a circular economy.  We will be joined by a panel of experts with in-depth knowledge of MMC and whole-life approaches: \n\nDr Flavie Lowres from BRE will share ongoing research around Buildings as Materials Banks\nJoanna Clarke from SPECIFIC will draw on their experience\, views of and challenges based on the life cycle cost comparison exercise undertaken for the Active Office Project

SUMMARY:How will COVID 19 impact Offsite Manufacturing & Technology?
DESCRIPTION:The world has been turned on its head in just 3 short weeks\, forcing us all to live and work differently. As we come to terms with our new reality it provides an opportunity to focus on what we want and need to change within our own organisations and the wider sector. \nThe Constructing Excellence Offsite Manufacturing & Technology Group proposes to hold an online forum to discuss how this time can be used to consider the opportunities to shape a better industry coming out of this crisis. Key issues for discussion include: \n• How could the current crisis transform offsite approaches? \n• How will it impact on the way in which companies approach construction? \n• How will it transform employees working patterns and the uptake of technologies? \nWe will be inviting members to share their insights around some of the key areas that this crisis has highlighted including\, numbers of operatives on sites\, safe working practices and remote working.

SUMMARY:Offsite Manufacturing & Technology - Visit to JLR
DESCRIPTION:I would like to invite you to the Constructing Excellence Offsite Manufacturing and Technology Group visit to the Jaguar Land Rover Castle Bromwich Facility. This visit in collaboration with the Construction Innovation Hub and with support from Tata Steel and Pinsent Masons provides an excellent opportunity to get behind the scenes at one of the most advanced automotive plants in Europe. Automotive is widely recognised as one of the industries that construction can learn most from and this visit will provide an opportunity to get under the skin of how automotive is applying advanced manufacturing techniques to improve productivity and quality. \nWe will also have an opportunity to gain insight into the Construction Innovation Hub’s Quality workstream which draws on experience from the automotive and aerospace sectors. Construction Quality Planning (CQP) applies to new construction products being produced and delivered at scale\, using manufacturing-led approaches. It is a quality toolset aimed at ensuring that components\, sub-assemblies or assemblies meet the required standards. \nWe do hope you will be able to join us. As you will appreciate numbers are strictly limited and we anticipate a high level of interest.  Please contact helpdesk@constructingexcellence.org.uk for further details.

SUMMARY:Generation for Tech - Better\, Faster\, Stronger
DESCRIPTION:Technology is changing the built environment forever. Modernising the way we design\, make decisions and interact with one another will lead to a smarter\, more efficient and collaborative construction industry. Or will it? \nThe Generation for Change (G4C) has the potential to fast-track the way we interact with tech.  Join us to explore how the younger generation is using it to make our industry better\, faster\, stronger.  Learn about the pitfalls and the potential and provide your perspective. \nMore details to follow.
