Summary
Most construction work requires some form of Temporary Works (to support excavations, to support concrete whilst it gains strength, to support tower cranes, etc.). These temporary works can represent a significant part of the construction process and can have a large impact on cost (sometimes 50% or more), time, quality and safety and as such, need to be properly managed to improve project delivery.
A comprehensive list of further information is included for those interested in learning more on specific aspects of temporary works.

CIOB Conservation Conference
New ideas for tough times
The theme of this year's annual conference is balancing conservation needs against rising costs. It is ideal for professionals involved in historic or traditional buildings as well as homeowners who are embarking on their own project.
We have drawn together leading experts from the UK and Europe who will give delegates the inside track on how these projects were successfully delivered and how they can apply what was learned to their own decision making.
