Combining construction specialists and budding talent alongside a technical trade exhibition, Built Environment LIVE will explore the most pressing and wide-reaching challenges of the industry. CABE’s conference programme will feature a multitude of expert speakers, covering a wide range of disciplines from across the entire sector, and aims to enlighten construction professionals to the opportunities within the industry.

For the first time, this year will include CIBSE Light2perform, a theatre dedicated to performance in interior and exterior lighting, with sessions curated by CIBSE’s Society of Light and Lighting (SLL).
Throughout the combined event, additional theatres will feature sessions on Building Safety, Delivering Net Zero, Digital Tools, SMART technology, Light2perform and Health & Wellbeing.

With the current economic crisis resulting in higher prices and more of a squeeze on resources, FMs need to ensure that they have robust building and maintenance services in place to control costs and reduce the need for emergency repairs. When it comes to drainage and plumbing there are also the challenges of dealing with extreme weather, from droughts to flooding, the need to meet stringent regulations and to avoid causing environmental damage.
UK drainage specialist, Metro Rod, has launched a survey which explores the main areas of interest for FMs in maintaining drainage and plumbing, including how they currently assess their supply chains to ensure they’re working with partners that meet the highest possible standards and provide value for money.
The results will be published online so that you can see how you compare to others within the sector.
The survey should take just 5-10 minutes of your time, and as a thank you, you will be entered into a prize draw, where one lucky winner will be picked at random to receive a £100 Amazon voucher.
