RIBAThe construction industry is changing rapidly with new materials and new design and construction methods being adopted to deliver buildings that can meet increasing challenging performance requirements and which can be Build Offsitedelivered in ways that minimise waste in all its forms whilst delivering exceptional value for money for clients and customers. 


The aim of this conference is to introduce architects and other design and construction professionals to some of the methods that will shape the future of the industry and which at the same time will shape future relationships within the design and delivery team. The learning points associated with the new methods will be delivered with reference to some of the most exciting and innovative of today’s construction projects but will be equally applicable to smaller and more main-stream projects.
