CCI & SCRI Dinner & Debate 2008
CCI & SCRI Dinner & Debate 2008 Lowry Hotel Friday 4th July 7.00pm – 12.00am Dress Code: Lounge Suits Smart Clients, Smart Buildings, Smart Industry: This House believes that the UK construction industry is innovative enough to deliver the projects of the future. The construction industry has undergone considerable change in the 10 years since Rethinking Construction. However, the pressure to be more innovative has become even more of an imperative for the industry. Issues such as climate change, housing supply, major projects and client demands have created a need for the industry to engage in new, and sometimes radical, ways of delivering the 21st Century built environment. It is clear that the industry must find ways to develop and use new knowledge, but can the UK construction industry deliver what is needed? The CCI & SCRI Dinner and Debate is an annual event which tackles key issues for the construction industry in a relaxed, entertaining and informal way. This is an excellent opportunity to meet with clients and other members of the industry in one of Manchester’s most luxurious hotels.
