Thursday 30 July 2020 at 12.00 – 13.00 BST

Our current times continue to create massive economic uncertainty, but also offer the construction supply chain the opportunity to play a central role in economic recovery and the chance to reconfigure and operate in a more resilient way in the medium and longer term.

In a short presentation followed by a discussion and Q&A over 60 minutes, HKA, Grant Thornton and DLA Piper will discuss options for new ways of working and the practicalities of making sustainable change across the sector, both in the near-term (Re-Set) and longer-term (Re-Invent).

Based on vast experience of international and domestic construction projects, HKA, Grant Thornton and DLA Piper will outline scenarios for change, examine the roles that different parts of the supply chain can assume, and provoke thought on how construction companies can remain productive and profitable whilst addressing this maelstrom of change.

Topics include:

  • How the supply chain may reconfigure itself to be more resilient
  • Increasing the use of risk assessment tools, including Digital Twins and other techniques
  • The practicalities of making off-site manufacture viable
  • The implications of on-site assembly of modular facilities
  • The role to be played by the client
  • How to share data and intellectual property in a way that is to the benefit of the whole supply chain
  • Legal considerations
