Offsite construction risk management

Join this webinar to learn how to approach offsite construction risk.

Background
Working in conjunction with Buildoffsite, the voice of the offsite construction industry, CIRIA will host a webinar covering the opportunities and challenges around managing offsite construction. We will hear from Buildoffsite members and will also get the perspectives from clients, suppliers, accreditors, and brokers.

Managing Construction Risk Community of Practice
Launched in 2020, CIRIA’s Managing Construction Risk Community of Practice (CoP) brings together practitioners from the construction and insurance sectors with the objective of improving the management of risk and financial performance.

Through a series of network events and integrated resources the CoP will help deliver more focused collaboration and enhance knowledge transfer in risk management. The events examined within the CoP network include:
  • Evaluating industry guidance on water damage risk management
  • Offsite construction risk management
  • Timber construction (for reduced carbon)
