Seminar Synopsis
The construction industry is undergoing significant change — driven by market volatility, supply-chain disruption, labour shortages, technological advancement and rising sustainability and delivery-certainty demands. Against this backdrop, procurement is no longer simply about selecting a delivery model or appointing contractors; it is a strategic function that shapes project outcomes, risk allocation, supply-chain performance, stakeholder collaboration and long-term operational success. This seminar brings together leading voices from quantity surveying, contracting, asset ownership & facilities management and international practice to explore how procurement decisions build resilience across the project lifecycle — through presentations and a panel discussion offering practical insight into market challenges, emerging trends, digital transformation and collaboration.
