Managing Risk in Construction

26th October 2022, starting at 1700 – Brompton Barracks, Chatham

A joint co-hosted event InstRE, ICE and TWf

This event  looks to exchange views in discussion of construction risk from the perspective of civil  and military engineering.

From either perspective:

  • Risk is costly. At its most severe it is  the cost of life and injury. The impact will subsequently  be financial and reputational.
  • The cost of mitigating the risk increases as a project moves from conceptual design to execution.
  • The requirement is understanding of product, the clarity in  process and the communication of  design  outcomes through people.
  • Today we have more information on product and on process. We have increasingly rapid communication channels. But the apparent virtue can easily become vice.
  • The designers’ ability to work through these to mitigate risk are frequently curtailed by limited programmes and budget.
  • Box-ticking then replaces professional risk management.
  • The professional has an obligation to design out risk. The ethics must come from the top of organisations. The key is leadership.

This event will be chaired by : John Carpenter FICE  and Col Gavin Hatcher RE
