Building Information Modelling (BIM)—Free 3 hrs
Facilitated by the CRC’s project team members and introduced by Tom Fussell (Queensland Department of Public Works)
The workshops will focus on the latest draft of the National BIM Guidelines. This will be the final open forum for industry consultation and feedback.
Attendees are requested to register to obtain a copy of the draft Guidelines to critique, and come with comments and questions.
The Guidelines aim to address the whole building life cycle and the way project information is created, shared, used and amended by all project participants through Building Models.
These workshops provide the building and construction industry: owners, designers, constructors and building operators/managers with the chance for input into the National BIM Guidelines and Case Studies Project which will conclude in December 2008.
Developing the Business Case for Sustainable Commercial Buildings ½ Day $440 inc. *
Facilitated by Richard Reed and Sara Wilkinson (Deakin University)
Based on the 2007 Your Building business case pilot module, presents the business case for sustainability – the rationale for why individuals and companies should make decisions in favour of sustainability when owning, developing, designing, building, occupying, or managing commercial buildings. Working examples from an industry practitioner will be provided as a part of this workshop.
This workshop will:
introduce the concept of a business case
identify business case drivers and value factors
provide case study examples of various business case elements
work through, with participants, the creation of a business case
familiarise participants with sustainable business case tools, models and concepts.
Life Cycle Costing for Sustainable Commercial Buildings ½ Day $440 inc. *
Facilitated by Richard Reed and Sara Wilkinson (Deakin University)
Owners and users of buildings need to make informed decisions about the purchase of equipment and materials. Although initial capital cost is often the key criteria, ongoing costs should also be considered to achieve the best outcome. Life cycle costing is a method of identifying and calculating all the costs (current and future) over the life of an asset. Working examples from an industry practitioner will be provided as a part of this workshop.
This workshop will:
give an overview of LCC methodology
clarify the use of Net Present Value (NPV) to calculate future cash flows
discuss discount rates, and their effects on an LCC analysis
provide examples of how LCC can be used in decision making for buildings.
Facility Management for Sustainable Commercial Buildings ½ Day $440 inc. *
Facilitated by Karen Hoverga (Sustainable Built Environments)
This workshop will explore the potential for Facility Managers to enhance the environmental sustainability of the buildings that they manage. The emphasis will be on practical measures that can be taken to evaluate sustainability and then identify and implement opportunities for improvement. As part of the workshop, a local Facilities Manager will present a case study about measures that they have implemented and the results to date.
The workshop will:
give an overview on how to develop an Environmental Management Plan, set ESD performance targets and how to incorporate these into your current management approach
identify the key opportunities for improvement in the normal FM operational activities and how can these be incorporated into a busy schedule
develop additional measures to gather data about ESD performance and other opportunities that arise when other changes are being considered.
Relationship Management in Project Delivery 2 Day Masterclass $1600 inc.
Facilitated by Brad Cowan (Aqua Projects)
With a focus on risk management and people behaviour issues, this two-day workshop provides a practical approach to breaking down the traditional ‘adversarial’ environment that many projects encounter. The workshop has been successfully piloted by several of Australia’s leading building and construction companies and used for in-house training programs within these organisations. Major government agencies involved in works, roads and infrastructure have also undertaken this workshop.
Using an interactive and case study approach, the workshop aims to:
compare ‘old’ and ‘new’ project delivery systems
identify the critical importance of human relationships and behaviours that impact on project delivery
explore the benefits of relationship management principles in projects
identify strengths and weaknesses in project relationships and manage them
address client management issues
utilise tools to implement relationship management principles
identify how to develop this new approach throughout your organisation.
Practical Guide to Safety Leadership ½ Day $440 inc. *
Facilitated by Louise Quinn (Safety Dimensions)
Safety at work is an important goal for everyone, yet the competing factors of budget and the appeal to take short cuts when time is limited, can put safety initiatives at risk. If ensuring safety is one of your workplace responsibilities, this workshop will equip you to:
identify the critical safety tasks that will build and maintain a safety culture
gain a working knowledge of the CRC’s Safety Leadership Guide and how to use its components (eg Blank Task & Position Competency Matrix & Implementation Checklist)
apply the safety competency framework flowchart to implement a safety culture in your organisation
hear from industry representatives about their organisation’s safety journey with an opportunity to participate in a Q&A session.
