The information contained in models is what the end users require when entering into a BIM Level 2 project and really holds the key to success for any BIM project. \nBenefits can include better cost certainty\, reduced construction time\, reduced construction cost and also the potential to improve safety on site. \nTGA will be using a Virtual Reality headset (also on a large screen) providing a unique insight ‘behind the scenes’\, walking attendees around a building that is either currently being designed or in construction. \nTo reserve your place\, email our Chair Graham Mills at: Graham.Mills@salusai.co.uk \n  \n  URL:https://hertsandbeds.constructingexcellence.org.uk/event/hertfordshire-lep-chamber-of-commerce-and-constructing-excellence/ LOCATION:AL10 9EZ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20190717T173000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20190717T193000 DTSTAMP:20260404T144842 CREATED:20190606T183811Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190606T183811Z UID:296-1563384600-1563391800@hertsandbeds.constructingexcellence.org.uk SUMMARY:Green Roof in Practice and Gardens in the Sky DESCRIPTION:This talk will and discussion be presented by:\nChris Bridgman and Nick Day of Bridgman and Bridgman. \nHosted by: \nAshe Construction\, \nCooks Way\, \nHitchin\, \nSG4 0JE URL:https://hertsandbeds.constructingexcellence.org.uk/event/green-roof-in-practice-and-gardens-in-the-sky/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20190627T161500 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20190627T183000 DTSTAMP:20260404T144842 CREATED:20190606T183451Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190606T183451Z UID:294-1561652100-1561660200@hertsandbeds.constructingexcellence.org.uk SUMMARY:Work Experience & Apprentices-dispelling the myths and The Training Model- an update from CITB DESCRIPTION:Presented by Amanda Winder Strive Development and Andy Barron your local CITB Partnerships Manager. \nThe event will be hosted at: \nOaklands College \nSt Albans Campus\, \nMansion House\, \nHatfield Road\, \nSt Albans \n  URL:https://hertsandbeds.constructingexcellence.org.uk/event/work-experience-apprentices-dispelling-the-myths-and-the-training-model-an-update-from-citb/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20180621T173000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20180621T190000 DTSTAMP:20260404T144842 CREATED:20180319T155744Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180319T155744Z UID:284-1529602200-1529607600@hertsandbeds.constructingexcellence.org.uk SUMMARY:FIRE SAFETY COMPLIANCE IN HIGH RISE BUILDINGS DESCRIPTION:Join us for this popular technical tour from Salus Approved Inspectors on Cladding and Fire Safety in High Rise Buildings offering logical advice and direction. \nIn light of devastating events in the UK and following a number of test findings\, it has become clear that the country is facing a fire safety epidemic resulting from a catalogue of errors\, misunderstandings and poor guidance within the industry.

At this late afternoon event we have invited two guest speakers who will share their knowledge on vital aspects of insurance and fire safety for the property and construction industry. This is also a great opportunity for you to meet the Woodhouse team\, Chamber members and pioneers in the latest work space design. \nCarl Nelson\, Head of External Surveying Network at CRL Management\, will cover the ten most frequent claims areas which the insurance industry encounters in this industry sector; helping builders\, contractors and architects to focus on and avoid these ten aspects which in turn may help mitigate insurance claims and\, thereby\, help keep this specific industry cost at a minimum. \nWith fire safety\, and its costs\, a paramount concern for all in the building industry Alex Pollard\, from iMist\, will demonstrate the benefits of active fire protection and the different types of sprinkler alternatives for domestic fire protection. Traditional sprinklers are well-established but their high cost and disruption explain their low penetration in domestic properties.
