Oscar White, computational design lead at Civic Engineers, has transformed his passion for storytelling into an inspiring new podcast. "By Inspection" dives into the fascinating journeys of engineers and their design collaborators, exploring the careers, challenges, and triumphs that shape the industry. 📢 Episode 1 is live now! For the debut episode, Oscar sits down with Michelle McDowell MBE, a non-executive director at Civic and a true icon in engineering. Michelle shares her experiences working on culturally and historically significant projects over the past 40 years.

#MIPIM is over for another year, and what a week we’ve had! 🎇 Gareth Atkinson and Stephen O'Malley made their epic cycle to Cannes with Club Peloton. A massive hats off to them both, this was no easy ride and we’re so proud of them for taking on the challenge (and smashing it) for an incredible cause. Over £7,000 has been raised so far, but there’s still time to contribute 👉 https://lnkd.in/eHB_aRFN Thanks again to our brilliant sponsors this year Bluebeam REDD - Real Estate Design & Development Caytons - A Gallagher Bassett Company Rapport3 On Tuesday, Stephen moderated a session at the Manchester stand on the ‘Strangeways Strategic Regeneration Framework’, which sparked engaging conversations around how the success of Slussen, Stockholm can influence the framework for Strangeways, as told by Linda Thiel from White Arkitekter. You can watch it back here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eYw9Ug3F Katrina Davis & Stephen attended as part of Manchester Invest Partnership delegation, Gareth was part of The London Stand at MIPIM. They caught up with old friends and meet new ones, over lots of pastries, wine and cheese – the French way! Although the weather was turbulent (shout out to Avison Young for saving the day with their branded umbrellas ☂️ ), the conversations were bright and promising. It was also great to support the first ever Place North delegation. It’s clear that MIPIM is still a very important event with a strong agenda. The UK was represented very strongly, particularly London and Manchester. Manchester being one of the UK’s best growth opportunities because of its ambition and collaboration across the GMCA. A huge thank you to everyone we met - #MIPIM2025 has been inspiring and insightful. We’re exciting to continue building on the conversations had and collaborate with other pioneers in the built environment.  Next stop UKREiiF and for those of you in the know, there will once again be a Team Civic paella party!! 🥳 Check out the below pictures that capture our jam-packed week… 📸 Until next year... Au revoir! 👋

💭 "Engineers can lead the response to the Building Safety Act" Sam Harland, associate director and structural team leader in London, has shared his insights on the #BuildingSafetyAct in Building Magazine. As has been well documented in recent months, the Building Safety Act is having quite an impact on the property and construction industry. As engineers, we have an important part to play in helping to prepare Gateway submissions on mid to high rise residential development projects. However, perhaps less well documented is the work required on existing High Risk Building (HRB) projects where we are helping clients with their building safety cases.

The theme for International Women's Day this year is #AccelerateAction, and what better way to inspire change than through the eyes of the next generation? We asked young people of team Civic to grab their pencils, crayons, and paint to draw a picture of what their mum figure does at work. From teachers to doctors, engineers to analysts, their drawings showcase the many ways women contribute, innovate, and drive action every day.  Swipe through to see their amazing artwork - because when we empower women, we inspire future generations to dream big! #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction #TeamCivic
