Group aims and objectives
The group's aims and objectives are:
- to widen knowledge of the construction sector and the risks it faces
- to share better practice between members
- to widen the knowledge of the construction industry's views of risk management
- to provide a forum to discuss specialist knowledge
- to aid the learning of IRM students
Students of the IRM 'Risk Management in Architecture, Engineering and Construction' course are particularly welcome to join the SIG. Students are welcome to join the linked in group and also to ask questions to the SIG team who will circulate to other members to help wherever possible.
It is intended that the SIG secretary will maintain and distribute a knowledge/skill set of the initial team to provide an point of contact when members need help on a specific subject.
The SIG will be involved in all sectors of the construction industry, from engineering, building, rail, and building/facilities management to investment and risk transfer issues during the construction of the asset. This is a wide ranging SIG and as such it is relevant for anyone to attend - chances are that your organisation will fit somewhere into the construction lifecycle (see below) at some point! It is a useful SIG for any risk managers to understand the different drivers of the sector.
Meeting Format and Topics
It is intended that each SIG event will last approximately 3 hours to allow time for presentations, discussion and networking. Events will mainly be based in London because of the location of the current members although this will change if the membership spreads.
We will aim to arrange around four events per year and will follow the construction lifecycle for the meeting format:

"From the Client's Perspective"
The Construction Risk SIG will examine practice, process and methodology for managing the focus (objectives) of the different parties to ensure that they remain aligned with the Client's objective, which must be the predominant objective. To understand this we will have a speaker offering views as a well respected client looking to create an integrated team.
The first speaker, Tony Giddings, executive director of Argent Group plc, will help us to understand how, by creating an integrated team, the objectives of the parties involved in the project remain aligned with those of the client.
The second speaker, Martin Davis from Synopsis Ltd, is a well known consultant regarding one aspect of an integrated team - Integrated Project Insurance (IPI). IPI is a new form of project insurance seen as an essential catalyst to underpin the positive change ongoing in the UK's construction industry. The idea is to add value by rendering it much more efficient and cost effective. It is to be available on projects on which the consultants and the key contractors and suppliers are appointed as an Integrated Project Team (IPT) from the outset. Its' practical effect is to protect the client against "financial loss" (cost overrun).
