Dear Delegate,

Key Event Topics

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for attending the inaugural National Construction Summit. The event has been designed to bring together, for the first time, all of the key stakeholders responsible for delivering a safe, sustainable and innovative construction sector. Over 60 speakers, 70 exhibitors and 2,500 delegates will take part in today’s activities. The theme of this year’s event “Sustainably Rebuilding Ireland” has been chosen to reflect the desire in the industry to take better care of the environment by using eco friendly materials and practices and to implement planning and development policies that have a long term benefit to our economy and our society in general.

• Urban Planning • Energy Efficiency • Regulations & Policy • Sustainable Construction • Identifying Projects & How to Win Them • Where to Invest in Ireland • Sustainable Energy Projects • Municipal and Government Projects • Infrastructure Projects • Commercial Market Outlook • Meeting Irelands Housing Needs • Technology • Raising Capital • Tax and Legal Issues • And Much More...

Today is about hearing from leading experts across a number of disciplines. The main stage features key note addresses from some of Ireland’s leading organisations who have first-hand experience in dealing with the restructuring of our sector. In addition, three themed workshops - Sustainability, Innovation and Market Intelligence - will offer delegates opportunities to network and discuss technical areas of interest. I hope you have an enjoyable and thought provoking experience at the RDS and that you leave with an increased knowledge of the key issues facing the sector and some new contacts to help you further your goals. I would like to thank all of the speakers, sponsors, exhibitors and supporting associations. Without this support we would not have been able to stage such an event. In particular I would like to thank the team at Construction Information Services, Tom, Alan and Donna whose advice and support has been invaluable.

Regards Colin Murphy Managing Director National Construction Summit

He is a current member of the UNECE Group of Experts in PPP whose brief it is to establish the criteria for developing PPP in transition economies. “The better way” In order to move the construction industry towards modern ways of operation in terms of management, use of lean technology, health, safety and welfare, sustainability, etc., an increased movement towards regulation has become pervasive over the last two decades. This has resulted in the delivery of better buildings, reduction of carbon emissions and a safer working environment for all, but it has also led to an increasingly legalistic working environment where each party to the construction process expends a disproportionate amount of effort in the protection of its own position. Whilst the parties to the process all agree that the increased regulation delivered more positive outcomes in terms of the construction PRODUCT, they are concerned that it also produced a negative outcome in terms of further fragmentation of the construction PROCESS.

TruePivot is an engineering platform that serves the construction sector. The company is a spinoff from research into engineering analytics conducted in the Dublin Institute of Technology. Research has shown that approximately 45% of all Structural Failures are the result of human design error. TruePivot uses statistical analysis on thousands of engineering designs, spotting outliers and anomalies, to improve the quality assurance practices of engineers. The cost of rectifying issues in construction is a function of how early that issue is identified. If an issue is identified at the calculation phase it is relatively cheap to address. Costs rise significantly if the issue has only been

identified after detailed drawings have been produced and once the drawing is sent to site the costs of rectifying that issue dramatically increase. The earlier issues are identified the cheaper they are to address. TruePivot can identify issues as they are created, saving a great deal of time and cost for construction professionals. The TruePivot platform allows engineers to upload design files and provides an instant notification of any anomalies or errors in the design. This is not a replacement for peer review but rather an additional layer of quality assurance that speeds up the validation process and significantly reduces the costs and risks of structural failure in a construction process.
