New Thinking, Responsible Actions – Grenfell, Construction Professionals Respond
This event has finished
Following the fire, the Hackitt Report was commissioned as an independent review of building regulations and fire safety. The report exposed systemic failures in the construction industry and stated that the current building regulatory system is "not fit for purpose". The recently published interim report, ‘Raising the bar’, by the Industry Response Group, raised many questions about the competence levels within our industry. Until now relatively little has been said about one of the most fundamental questions of all, how do we improve industry competence and culture?
The event will address how the industry, both locally and nationally, with specific reference to construction professionals can practically address the necessary improvements to industry competence and culture.
Speakers Include:
- Dame Judith Hackitt DBE
- Graham Watts OBE, Chief Executive, CIC
- Professor John Cole CBE, Architect and chaired the Independent Inquiry and wrote the ‘Report into the Construction of Edinburgh Schools’
- Paul Hyett, Director, Vickery Sports Architecture
