Design Co-Ordination in the D&B Environment and the role of BIM
SoCLA and DLA Piper invite you to attend this exciting presentation by Stuart Macdougald-Denton, Head of Diales Technical - Technical Expert.
Stuart is a leading architectural and construction expert who provides technical expert witness services worldwide and has given expert opinion in more than 150 disputes.
By drawing on this experience, Stuart’s presentation discusses:
the disconnect between typical terms of the consultants’ appointments and what the contractor wants during the construction process;
the role of the contractor, sub-contractor and the consultants in identifying and rectifying defects during construction; and
how BIM can help save time and money, minimise inconsistencies and errors in design deliverables and minimise defects in construction.
And, knowing Stuart, he will have a smorgasbord of illustrated examples of when things go wrong!
This event is a “must-see” for Quantity Surveyors, architects, engineers, project managers and project owners, and lawyers alike.

Why managers derail: Exploring the dark side of leadership
John us for a seminar by Dr Vicki Webster of Incisive Leaders.
Effective leaders provide a strategic advantage by maximising productivity and innovation through staff and client engagement. They are able to demonstrate value based leadership, even in the face of frustration and failure. This presentation examines the important role that 'dark side' characteristics can play in predisposing a leader or an emerging leader (at any level of the organisation) to engage in ineffective leadership, and the impact of destructive leadership on others. Results of research investigating personality traits that predispose leaders to engage in, or to inhibit harmful behaviours are discussed. Our level of self-awareness, and our ability to self-regulate impulses and reactions, can influence whether our personal characteristics become our strengths or lead to derailment. Strategies to avoid pitfalls and maintain career resilience are shared.

The saga of Saipem and GLNG: injunctions, bank guarantees and s 67J of the Queensland Building and Construction Commission Act 1991 (Qld)
Saipem Australia Pty Ltd’s three valiant attempts to injunct GLNG Operations Pty Ltd from calling on bank guarantees left it with what might be termed a ‘flesh wound’. But its efforts leave us with a better understanding of how the notice provision in section 67J of the Queensland Building and Construction Commission Act 1991 should be interpreted, particularly with respect to the term ‘debt due’. Of wider importance is the approach of the Court in each case to the assessment of the balance of convenience in light of the bargain struck between the parties.
