The Future Normal - Design, Building & Property - Webinar
If you are an architect, builder, engineer or property professional right now, you'll be addressing the immediate challenges - staff, cashflow, customers and balancing projects.
While we don't know what the future holds, we do know that design, construction, and building materials will have a vital role to play in a post-pandemic recovery of our communities and economies.
Is it possible to reimagine a "new normal" where Architecture and Construction can emerge stronger? - What are the moves you can make today to come out ahead later and be part of a revived Building industry?
Mecca is pleased to present a webinar that predicts the future for architecture, building and property over the next 12 - 24 months and provides practical advice on how to prepare your business for the new normal.
We've brought together 3 experts from banking, design and building, who will each present their own perspectives on:
The external market and impacts on Commercial property - immigration, building permits/process/Government stimulus.
Banks views on the Development process and key risks over this period? Builder/Developer relationship, feasibility, location, valuations.
Forecasts for construction activity over the next 2 years.
Changes to existing architecture and interior design of offices and residential buildings.
Current restrictions on building sites and how to best adapt.
Changed preferences amongst purchases of residential and office developments - will space be the new requirement over luxury?
COVID impacts on Commercial property sub asset classes - office, retail, industrial, etc
Will there be a growth in "healthy building" principles among designers and developer clients?
Building supply chain impact - how can builders deal with the inevitable hold ups and delays?
Future Proofing your practice/business - Challenges and opportunities and key actions that you need to take to best prepare your business for the new normal?
