Community of Practice - Managing Construction Risk
CIRIA is launching a new Community of Practice (CoP) bringing together practitioners from the construction and insurance sectors to improve the management of risk and financial performance. CIRIA's new CoP will deliver more focused collaboration and enhance knowledge transfer in risk management over the next three years by holding a series of network events and providing integrated resources in one place.
Registration for this event is now closed

Background
The management of risk is a perennial issue for the construction and management of assets. There have been a number of significant high-profile incidents in the past where a better understanding and management of risk could have led to better outcomes.
To support the development of good practice in risk management, CIRIA has delivered guidance such as Code of Practice for Property Flood Resilience (supported by the insurance industry) and control of risk: a guide to the systematic management of risk from construction.
CIRIA also has a proven track record of developing communities of practice to support industry good practice and performance improvement. Our independence, industry reach, expertise and facilitation have brought people together to further the aims and objectives of these communities. We run specialist contaminated land networks and a practitioner community that provides a range of events, awards and resources for those involved in delivering local flood risk management and better places and spaces.
The insurance and construction sectors have a vital role to play in managing risk. Increased collaboration and understanding among practitioners are needed to improve the management of risk from construction activity related to people, property, environment and profitability. After extensive consultation with insurance providers, clients, contractors and consultancies, CIRIA has developed a new Community of Practice focusing on risk management in construction and this will be launched with the webinar.
