@stuartgreenUoR Not if you caught the one from Platform 9 3/4!!

@stuartgreenUoR One may criticise the circumstances in the 1950s. Yet even at the time we knew that concrete’s lifespan is between 50-100 years. I am wondering if the victorians did so good of a job in building that now any new solution must be benchmarked against lasting over 200 years.

👇👇👇 My view on the size of the future capable and competent workforce is that we will struggle to match last year’s 230k net housing output again as building safety, future homes and retrofit kick in. The industry is still spinning its gears in yesterday’s delivery techniques

[Ali M. Saad @alimsaadams]

@stuartgreenUoR In my recent paper I used a phrase from Appelbaum's (2022, p.1) afterword, “Reinventing ourselves to change the world”. Funny enough, there is a belief that somehow the smartest and most competent are those who remain intact amidst a whole industry change. Well, they try, anyway.

What does MMC mean to the UK public construction sector and how can its uptake be enhanced?

Fill the below survey and support a timely doctoral research in understanding how construction innovation flows in UK public bodies.

Anyone with public sector project experience who can help @alimsaadams collect some data on what #MMC means to you and your organisation? https://t.co/p6qnDfpsN0

[Ali M. Saad @alimsaadams]

@stuartgreenUoR This is very unfortunate. To be honest, Google's algorithm is congested by comparable news it is now relating any search on MMC to liquidation, collapse, insolvency, etc. Thanks for sharing.

Just been reading the latest UK Company Insolvency Statistics report for 2022 Q1. Guess which industry constitutes 19% of all cases with 3,213 insolvencies?

I really enjoyed today's webinar. Curious to know the readiness of public bodies to embrace a new set of mandated policies.

#Constructionplaybook discusses the need to drive a healthy competitive market. In my opinion, understanding demand's characteristics is just as critical.

Just one week until our next #webinar, 'Constructing Procurement Gold Standards' with @StevebakerSb. Starts 10:00am on Weds 8th June. See details and register at https://t.co/L0MwpEtLiL

@ACE_Updates @CIH_HUB What a read! amazing effort put into this document. Looking forward to the official publication.

@HansfordPeter New/complex terms = a perception of smart looking. Everyone loves smart looking, until it doesn't make sense.

[Ali M. Saad @alimsaadams]

@BuildLaw_ArtTea The industry is out of terms now it's time for a mix and match

[Ali M. Saad @alimsaadams]

“..consider any unintended conflict”, “..unintended incentives”, “..unintentionally inflate prices”, “.. unintentionally limiting innovation”, “..unintentionally increase risk”, etc.

Does the #ConstructionPlaybook perceive an "un-intention" issue, or this was unintentional?👀🤔

[Ali M. Saad @alimsaadams]

A climbable wall?🧗

Guessing construction is failing more and more every day especially in the so called 'new build'.

This is the outcome of "I want change but don't want to change".

This is perhaps worse than sticking to old norms.

More info on this is highly appreciated!

Delighted to have presented my paper today titled "Extracting MMC Values that contribute towards Employment Opportunities Amidst Global Pandemics" at #SEEDS conference organized by @Leeds_LSI within @sobecbeckett "School of Built Environment, Engineering, and Computing".

[Ali M. Saad @alimsaadams]

@StevebakerSb One hand's catastrophe is another's treasure. In my opinion, COVID=(Sudden Disruptions, Uncontrolled Environments, Addressing Force Majeure), Carbon=The Global Carbon Race, BREXIT=Skill Shortage. All those are triggering innovation towards one effective and existing solution: MMC

[Ali M. Saad @alimsaadams]

@StevebakerSb Once again the construction industry proving to be among the very vital sectors, of significant economic contribution, amidst sudden disruptions💪
