Next Episode: Construction Records: Is it time to change the record?

Join us with leading construction experts on the next episode of #ConstructionCast on the 30th April 2024, at 9am UK time.

Everyone’s heard the well-worn phrase, ‘records, records, records’, but why is it still an issue nearly 50 years after Max Abrahamson wrote his famous book? What records should we now be keeping and why haven’t we fixed this problem? Or have we?

Join three world-leading construction and law professionals for a look at the good, the bad and the ugly of record keeping.

We look forward to seeing you.
