Learn best practice and get your CPD at the Digital Construction Summit
The Digital Construction Summit series of webinars kicks off today and provides construction professionals with the opportunity not only to learn best practice, but also to gain CPD hours.

The summit kicks off today with: The cost of delays you’re not tracking – how better planning helps you spot problems earlier and protect your margin.
In this webinar, Will Langford from Bowmer + Kirkland, Derek O’Neil from Careys and Gerry Kelliher from Eleco will explore how better planning helps construction teams spot risks earlier, make better decisions, and protect profitability. They will look at the everyday planning challenges teams face and how a more connected, controlled approach to planning can improve visibility, predictability, and performance.
Then, on 23 September, Jason Sharp from Overford, Sarah Keyte from HKA and IM4Legal and Henry Counsell from Ideagen will discuss how information and technology have a crucial role to play in both defending disputes and preventing them in the first place. They will share their best practice and discuss how information and technology can be used when a dispute arises – and how to ensure disputes don’t arise.
On 1 October, you can get a sneak preview of the CIOB’s digital PMO playbook. Drawing on real-world experience from across the built environment, the session will examine how organisations can move beyond digital tools and platforms to establish disciplined information management, trusted data, ethical AI adoption and effective leadership practices that support safer, more sustainable and higher-performing programmes.
The webinar will provide practical guidance for clients, programme leaders, project managers and digital professionals seeking to embed digital capability as a core element of professional practice.
Speakers include David Philp and Stefan Mordue from the CIOB Innovation and Digital Advisory Panel, Hadi Kazemi from Leeds Beckett University and James Daniel from HS2.
Finally, on 8 October, Bex Gibson from Rider Levett Bucknall, Liam Tegg from Plan Radar and a third speaker (to be announced) will feature in the webinar entitled: No data, no Gateway: quality, the golden thread and the Building Safety Act.
They will discuss how quality assurance on site, the golden thread and the Building Safety Act are one connected challenge, and how that challenge decides programme certainty, Gateway 2 approval and legal exposure for up to 30 years.
All the webinars are free to attend and will be broadcast live. Those who complete a webinar live via their own registration link will qualify for an hour’s CPD.
The webinars will be available to watch on demand shortly after the live broadcast.
