Construction Conference

RICS Construction Conference

The essential conference for Quantity Surveyors and Project Managers to review how the sector is performing, analyse current demands on the industry and its future direction.

How can the sector adapt and modernise to remain competitive and resilient?

Unmissable

Brexit, robots and skills shortages. Just three of the pressing issues currently impacting the construction sector and disrupting the status quo. How should the industry respond?

The RICS Construction Conference will bring together leading individuals in the sector, including developers clients and contractors to debate how to navigate current challenges, changing client demands and technological shifts within the industry.

The conference is the perfect platform for quantity surveyors and project managers to benefit from high-level discussions that will improve their understanding of current market conditions, the latest technical content and future developments in the industry.

Delivered through presentations, case studies and discussions, the conference will examine timely topics such as procurement for value, off-site construction, contracts and BIM.

This is the must attend event for anyone wanting to be at the forefront of the UK construction sector.
