Research perspectives on Safety Culture
2026-05-28 10:00 - 11:30 | Online
Research perspectives on Safety Culture
Working in collaboration with ARCOM (Association of Researchers in Construction Management), Constructing Excellence will provide a valuable forum for the exchange of knowledge and ideas between academic researchers and industry practitioners.
Join us for the first session on the research around Safety Culture led by Dr Emmanuel Aboagye-Nimo, Senior Lecturer in Construction Management, Birmingham City University (staff profile: Dr Emmanuel Aboagye-Nimo), which will take place on Thursday 28th May.
Overview
The missing voices in safety
During the call Dr Emmanuel Aboagye-Nimo will explore how safety in construction is often framed through standardized policies that overlook the realities of smaller firms, even though they make up a significant part of the industry. Drawing on his previous work, Dr Aboagye-Nimo will argue that while we claim to collaborate across the sector, the real question is whether we collaborate on all safety issues. By excluding the voices and practices of small firms, we risk creating frameworks that are incomplete and less effective. True improvement in safety requires inclusive collaboration that embraces the ambiguities and lived experiences of every part of the industry, not just the largest players.

Space Architects – People, Planet, Place
This presentation will set out how Space Architects has embedded environmental, social and governance principles into the way the business is run, not just into how buildings are designed. Rather than treating ESG as a reporting or compliance exercise, Space has adopted a practical framework structured around People, Planet and Place. This framework is used to guide strategy, governance, investment decisions and day-to-day operations across the practice.
This talk will explain how this approach has been implemented in practice, including:

Building a strong, long-term workplace culture and development structure (People)
Setting and measuring real carbon and environmental performance targets, including a commitment to Net Zero by 2030 (Planet)
Focusing on long-term social value, quality and impact in the places the practice works (Place)

It will also touch on how this approach is underpinned by B Corp certification, Best Companies accreditation and a strong focus on measurement, data and long-term performance, and why Space Architects believes ESG must be treated as a core business system rather than a separate initiative.

Bio: Rob Charlton
Rob Charlton is Chief Executive of Space Group, the Newcastle-based architecture and digital construction group that includes Space Architects, BIM Technologies, bimstore and Twinview. He has over 20 years’ experience as an architect focussing on digital delivery and practice leadership, and has led the transformation of Space into a purpose-led, sustainability- and data-driven organisation. Under his leadership, Space has achieved B Corp certification, 3 star Best Companies accreditation, a Carbon Neutral Business and committed to Net Zero by 2030.

Constructing Excellence Conference 2026

The Constructing Excellence Annual Conference brings together key decision makers from across the Constructing Excellence Movement and wider construction industry to explore the burning issues of the day and how they relate to Constructing Excellence Mission and Vision.
The 2026 Annual Conference, taking place on 21st January at BMA House, will explore Actions Not Words: How Will We Deliver the Quality Built Environment We Deserve?

Actions Not Words: How Will We Deliver the Quality Built Environment We Deserve?
The arguments about why we need to improve delivery are well made and what needs to be delivered is clearly set out in the 10 year infrastructure strategy. How do we deliver that strategy? How do we ensure that the assets we build and manage meet the fundamental needs of society, the economy and the environment?
In the 2026 Constructing Excellence Annual Conference we will be focussing on the all-important ‘How?’
Our established background in sharing best practice demonstrates that improvement comes about through sharing and collaborating to drive meaningful and lasting change. We want the delegates to come away inspired about how they can build on the insight from the day and make meaningful changes in their own organisations, projects and roles.
Through the day we will be considering three core areas of how we delivery excellence:
-How do we define what we want?

How do we articulate to the market what we actually value from our built environment.
How do we define the outcomes we want from our assets?
How do we implement value-based decision-making across programmes and projects?
Who is leading the way at working collaboratively with the supply chain to deliver on outcomes?

CE Showcase: Value Toolkit, Performance Measurement, Climate Action is around the corner with practical examples of what we can do now to better support society.
-How do we set up for success?

How do we select delivery mechanisms that will maximise outcomes
How do we procure for those outcomes?
How do we engage with the market to ensure we get the best for project outcomes?
How do we set up for success?

CE Showcase: Gold Standard, Procurement, Major Projects Group
-How do we deliver on that success?

How do we maximise productivity?
How do we deliver successful projects?
How do we embrace technology and innovation?

BREEAM Resilience Framework Workshop
2025-10-28 14:00 - 15:30 | Online
Following on from last November’s roundtable with the Construction Clients Leadership Group on Resilience – see Resilience, the Cinderella of Climate Action – Constructing Excellence our colleague’s in BREEAM have now developed a new approach to resilience within BREEAM. We are hosting an online session with the technical team to review the BREEAM Resilience Framework and share insights.
Climate change has moved from a future forecast to a present-day reality, disrupting lives, businesses, and the very buildings we occupy. In response, BREEAM is taking a definitive step. The upcoming Refurbishment and Fit Out (RFO V7) scheme introduces a comprehensive new Resilience category, fundamentally expanding the definition of sustainable building for an uncertain world.
Over 40% of the buildings that will stand in 2040 were built before 1980, long before modern climate risks were a design consideration. The challenge is now twofold: we must decarbonise these assets while also ensuring they can withstand, adapt, and thrive amidst increasing shocks of extreme weather and chronic stresses of a changing climate. A building that isn’t future ready cannot be sustainable. Resilience is the critical link that ensures our spaces remain safe, healthy, and valuable long into the future.

BREEAM’s new resilience category provides a robust, practical framework to future-proof our built environment. It is designed to:

Safeguard occupant health and wellbeing against climate and disruption risks.
Preserve asset value, minimise recovery times, and reduce insurance costs.
Keep businesses operational by reducing downtime during disruptive events.
Ensure buildings contribute positively to the resilience of their local areas.

The framework breaks down climate adaptation interventions into five actionable steps:

High level risk screening – early checks to understand climate and natural hazard risks before committing to a site.
Detailed risk assessment – deeper studies by qualified experts to understand future risks and adaptation needs.
Implementing resilience and adaptation measures – taking practical steps such as flood defences, backup systems, heat protection, and designing for future upgrades.
Protection from human error and malicious damage – safeguarding critical systems from accidents, fire, or intentional harm.
Local resilience contribution – managing surface water run-off, reducing urban heat, and supporting wider community resilience.

This forward-looking approach does more than future-proof assets; it provides a clear pathway to comply with cutting-edge regulatory frameworks and investor demands, such as the EU Taxonomy and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures. By demonstrating a certified, rigorous approach to physical climate risk, owners can potentially secure favourable terms with insurers in a hardening market. This alignment turns building-level actions into a strategic advantage, connecting directly to global climate security goals and financial resilience.
