Insolvency Recovery Planning Copy
2022-06-30 17:00 - 18:00 UTC | Online, via Zoom, United Kingdom
Insolvency recovery planning
An Insolvency Recovery Plan provides a structured template to pre-plan for an insolvency event. The plans act like a ‘lifeboat drill’ to ensure that the protection measures are adequate – and that everyone in the team knows how they work.

They can be prepared at any stage of a development project – it’s never too early or too late to instigate a recovery plan. They can be prepared prior to works commencing on site, during the course of the works – or even after an insolvency event has occurred.
Speaker – Richard Winson, Proptech
Richard is an experienced chartered surveyor, with a specialist knowledge of lending risk relating to construction companies and property developments. He has worked within a range of different industry sectors – including property development, residential construction, specialist sub-contracting, and global telecoms.
For the last 20 years Richard has specialised in construction corporate recovery & insolvency, property development lending risk, surety (performance bond) loss-adjusting, and business performance / security reviews.

Insolvency recovery planning
2022-10-06 17:00 - 18:00
Insolvency recovery planning

The insolvency of a Principal Contractor or a key supply-chain partner part-way through a project can have devasting consequences. An insolvency event can result in significant financial losses, build quality issues, and widespread delays and disruption.
Many of these issues can be mitigated by effective planning and ensuring that the protection measures will perform as expected.
What is an Insolvency Recovery Plan?
An Insolvency Recovery Plan provides a structured template to pre-plan for an insolvency event. The plans act like a ‘lifeboat drill’ to ensure that the protection measures are adequate – and that everyone in the team knows how they work.
They can be prepared at any stage of a development project – it’s never too early or too late to instigate a recovery plan. They can be prepared prior to works commencing on site, during the course of the works – or even after an insolvency event has occurred.
Speaker: Richard Winson FRICS, Protech Analytics
Richard is an experienced chartered surveyor with extensive knowledge of property development risk and insolvency advisory. Richard has assisted insolvency practitioners with the ‘clear-up’ operations of several hundred contractor insolvencies – ranging from ‘one man band’ companies – right up to national construction companies.
The company has developed a series of proprietary due-diligence risk platforms to compliment traditional surveying skills. The platforms provide an effective ‘war room’ analysis of the projects, and the performance of the associated supply-chain. The company provides a common-sense, reliable and trustworthy service.
Protech Analytics carries out specialist due-diligence services for a wide range of clients. These services cover property development projects, principal contractor & sub-contractor business / performance reviews and ‘health-checks’.

During 2012 Philip led the cross-industry working group which produced the RICS Information Paper on Japanese Knotweed and Residential Property and helped to facilitate the establishment of the Invasive Weeds Control Group under the auspices of the Property Care Association (PCA).

Most people take for granted that trees are an important part of our residential environment while, as professionals, we recognise that they can influence values and physically impact on structures. But do we appreciate them as distinct individuals? There are three good reasons why we should:

Clients should be advised appropriately about implications for prospective ownership;
The courts expect us to be able to identify certain species which may pose a risk to buildings;
There is a simple pleasure in being better informed about our natural surroundings!

Using numerous illustrations, this session will explain how to easily identify some of the most common species of trees, with a focus on those which pose a particular risk to buildings. It will also explain why February is an ideal time of year to start improving skills at tree identification.

Sustainable timber specification
2023-05-11 17:00 - 18:00 | Online via zoom, United Kingdom
The UK building industry consumes millions of tonnes of timber a year. Whilst in the past the sources of this timber were entirely unregulated, today greater awareness of the significant environmental damage thoughtless timber specification can cause has led to the introduction of many different certification schemes – some good, some not so good.
The speaker will demonstrate that experience has shown that just specifying ‘sustainable timber’ does not always lead to ‘sustainable timber’ being used.
The speaker is Charlie Law from PEFC, who has over 30 year’s experience in the construction sector and extensive industry knowledge having worked for BAM, Kier and Lendlease.
He is also Sustainability Director at Timber Development UK (TDUK) and a member of Grown in Britain Executive.
The session explains what schemes are available, and where they can go wrong and explores ways of designing out the risk of unsustainable timber being used in the first place.
We will also look at the use of timber in cladding. With timber being an increasingly popular choice as a sustainable material cladding we’ll explore the specific pitfalls associated with use.

National Access & Scaffolding Confederation

Time: 16:00 – 17:00
The National Access & Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) are giving a talk on scaffolding in October. NASC is the premier national trade body for access and scaffolding in the UK – established 1945 and now serving a family of 500+ leading contracting firms, scaffolding suppliers, and manufacturers. Nearly 80 years later, raising and maintaining safety standards remains at the heart of the NASC’s objectives.
The NASC president David Brown will discuss procurement in depth (with tips to reduce associated costs).
Speakers will also give an update on recently issued safety and technical guidance, discuss the background to the NASC’s annual safety report on contractor members which show the best accident results in our recorded history with a 26% drop in RIDDORs, as well as leaving time for your questions.
The NASC has a mammoth impact on the scaffolding industry – and works with key industry organisations, HSE, UEG, Build UK, AIF, CISRS, TWf – driving up scaffolding safety standards, recommending good practice and keeping ahead of developments in the rapidly evolving construction industry. The NASC produce over 100+ Safety, Health, Technical, Contractual, Purchasing Guidelines, Asset Protection, Environmental and Sustainability Guidance, as well as publishing TG20 Operational Guidance and software for Tube & Fitting scaffolding and SG4 Preventing falls in scaffolding operations, which are the key guidance documents for the UK scaffolding industry.
Speakers
David Brown is our current NASC President and Managing Director of IBN Scaffold Access Ltd. David started in the Construction Industry as a Quantity Surveyor for a Main Contractor before moving into the Scaffolding Industry and is very keen to impart his knowledge and experience to improve and cement principal contractor – contractor relationships.
Steve Kearney is the NASC H&S Manager and has been involved in the scaffolding industry for forty-five years (and was until quite recently the HSEQ director of a very large scaffolding and hire & sales group). Steve is the ‘help desk’ for ad hoc industry-related H&S enquiries from members and others and acts as secretary for the NASC Health & Safety Committee.
Tony Barry is Director of the Construction Industry Scaffolders Recognition Scheme (CISRS), which is often pronounced as scissors). CISRS is the oldest CSCS card system and was introduced in 1975. Tony has been in the scaffolding industry for over forty years and is now at the forefront of learning and development within this sector.
