The built environment has been hit by many challenges in recent years and the rising costs of energy, materials, and skill shortages have impacted significantly on projects and are proving a huge challenge for contractors, clients, and all other project stakeholders. The UK construction costs are up 24.5% (March 2021-March 2022).

In this webinar two industry experts, Alex Hurn, MD at Sillence Hurn Building Consultancy talks from an industry point of view, covering market trends, ways to help with controlling costs, how procurement can help and what might be on the horizon. He is then followed by a legal perspective from Cesare McArdle, Legal Director at Herrington Carmichael, on what, if anything, can be done from a contractual point of view.
