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.
