Review – Annual Conference on 30th November 2021: A Crucial Discussion Not to be Missed2 December, 2021

Constructing Excellence

Constructing Excellence

 

After a year of cloud working and endless zoom meetings, we brought the Annual Constructing Excellence Conference back to London at Skyloft, 28th floor Millbank Tower, with tremendous success. This year we chose the theme of “Unlocking Value: An industry to be valued and be valued in”, focusing on understanding different forms of value in the construction industry. To face the challenge of the everchanging pandemic, we hosted the event both online and offline, attracting almost 300 professionals in the industry.

 

The construction industry needs change. Not only to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic, but also to support a better environment for our people, a better society, and a better condition for our planet earth. Following the COP26 summit, we believe the urgency for change is apparent. Conversations about how to implement change and maximise the impact that needs to happen, and we hope this conference can set the necessary foundation for these conversations to take place.

 

We are incredibly grateful for the contribution of our chairs and panellists, who shared their valuable insights, case studies and calls for action. Special thanks to Burges Salmon, Construction Innovation Hub, G4C, and BRE Group to join us in making this exciting opportunity come true.
