Richard part of the team that successfully arranged a joint event between the Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors (ICES) and CIArb in January 2019.
The theme of the event was Planes, Trains and Automobiles with a specific focus on construction law, contracts, Building Information Modelling (BIM) and collaboration within infrastructure projects.
The welcome address was provided by Richard Barnes, Chair of the CIArb North West Branch, with talks by Tony Bingham, who provided an insight into the best procurement system he had ever seen, followed by John Riches who gave an interesting talk on 'What I love about NEC4', which provided an interesting and reasoned rationale of some of the issues with the NEC form of contract.
