Overview
On June 17th in Salford, join us to explore the realities of delivering datacentre projects at our Manchester team breakfast seminar. The session features exclusive industry insights, breakfast and networking. We’re delighted to invite you to join us for a morning of discussion focused on one of the fastest growing and most complex areas within construction and engineering – datacentres.
While many of the challenges will feel familiar, constructing datacentres is particularly complex. The combination of highly technical requirements, specialist systems and strict standards means these projects are far more sensitive to changes and errors.
The pace of technological development only adds to this. Requirements often shift significantly from initial scope to delivery. In turn, this often results in increased variations, pressure and cost uncertainty. Opening specifications may not match requirements at the point of construction. So how can the risks be managed and what are the biggest challenges?
This session will explore how these risks play out in practice. The team will explore a range of topics, from managing constant change and evolving client requirements, to understanding insurance implications and avoiding disputes when projects start to drift.
As always, we will be joined by an exceptional line-up of speakers for what promises to be an insightful and practical set of talks.
Join us from 8:30am at The Lowry Hotel, Salford. Secure your place here.
Topics
