Just finished the course “Construction Management: Reading Drawings and Specifications” by Jim Rogers! I gained a comprehensive understanding of construction drawings through this course. where I learned to interpret various types of construction drawings, including architectural, structural, and mechanical drawings.  This course has equipped me with the skills and knowledge necessary to be a valuable member of any construction team and has enhanced my career prospects in the construction industry.

Temporary Works in Construction For Discussion:- A large proportion of individuals on construction sites these days do not know what "Temporary Works" (as defined in BS 5975) refers to and I have repeated discussions with individuals on site regarding this. Any where the word "Temporary" appears, individuals assume it is "Temporary Works" such as:- - Temporary Water Supplies - Temporary Electrical Supplies - Temporary Doors - Temporary Buildings etc. I also have repeated discussions with Permanent Works Designers on this and explain BS 5975 defines what "Temporary Works" are in construction as they do not know of BS 5975 or "Temporary Works". How can this be rectified ? Temporary Works Forum (TWf)

🚧 Project Update - 507 🚧 After just one week on-site, we’re moving full speed ahead! The paneling is being installed, and the floors are prepped for any necessary adjustments. Up next, we’ll be diving into the plumbing and electrical work to keep everything on track. With over 15 years of experience in the construction and design sector, I’ve learned that attention to the smallest details is what truly leads to a high-quality finish. This current facility spans 800 sq. meters, designed with the flexibility to be completed in stages each quarter. The key to any successful project? Precision down to the centimeter—while allowing for adaptability to ensure minimal disruption to operations. #ConstructionLife #ProjectManagement #DesignAndBuild #QualityExecution #FacilityDesign

Does the Building Safety Act spell an end to value engineering? Under the BSA, designers of Higher Risk Buildings (HRBs) must now prove that their installations comply with fire and structural safety regulations. Making alterations to the building envelope later on can lead to major setbacks, emphasising the need to select the correct envelope product from the start. Discover how to ensure a smooth process from the get-go in our blog on the topic. https://lnkd.in/eMJ5pGbu

By fabricating modular assemblies offsite and delivering them to the job-site complete, the time, cost, and safety liabilities associated with traditional stick-built construction are greatly reduced. Read more in our blog as we explore 8 ways that modular construction improves safety both on and off the job-site: https://hubs.ly/Q02tzRXt0

Performing routine inspections on cooling towers is a crucial step in increasing the reliability of a structure and extending the design life of the cooling water system. Check out Part 1 of our 2-Part series on the importance of cooling tower inspections, where we ask Matthew Wooden: 1 - Why should cooling towers be inspected by a firm independent from a cooling tower company? 2 - What are one of the primary challenges to inspecting cooling towers? 3 - Are there any unique safety challenges to inspecting cooling towers?

Do you know the signs of a headache project? Unlike most of the projects you manage, these projects require complex technical, mechanical, and electrical systems to enable a mission-critical #federal facility to function properly. Check out our latest whitepaper "Avoid Complex Construction Headaches: Best Practices for Reducing Delays and Cost Overruns" to learn about the warning signs of a complex construction project and the best way to tackle it if a complex project lands on your desk. #federalfacility #complexconstruction #bestpractices #thematosway https://lnkd.in/gQZ_jmgu

NEW - The Building and Engineering Services Book 2025 available to read online The Building and Engineering Services Book highlights the vital role played by the building engineering services sector in tackling the UK ’s major economic, social and healthcare challenges. In the publication you will find articles and technical reports covering all aspects of the management of buildings to help clients and specifiers alike to make informed decisions to find the right contractor to help them meet their corporate, financial and social goals. You can also enjoy a piece on FETA on page 11 and many of our member associations throughout the edition: https://lnkd.in/eunNR5uB

Useful CPD & Inspiration Links to ICE Attributes ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Attribute 1 : Understanding and Practical Application of Engineering Sub-attribute 1.6 : Undertake the design, development and implementation of engineering solutions & evaluate their effectiveness in the contexts of the whole project life cycle Link : Modern methods of construction ( ICE Lunch and Learn Webinar) (https://lnkd.in/eYanFt7f) My thoughts and how you might use it : Awareness of implementation (construction in more familiar language) techniques amongst junior designers is a key skill to ensure that design output is buildable, but also safe, economic and sustainable. Thus it is linked to most other ICE attributes. This is one of the fastest changing areas of civil engineering with innovative techniques constantly being trialled, adapted and adopted. This is a handy 30 minute  webinar looking at some of the emerging new methods.
