This event is an introduction of the Government announcement, via MBIE, of draft changes to the regulations that sit under the Health and Safety Act 2015. These changes to the regulatory framework covering plant, structures, working at heights, and excavations to provide more clarity and certainty for businesses, and better safety and health for workers. 

Dave Moore from the Worksafe NZ Health and Technical Services Group will be sharing his views in an open forum on the likely changes and discussing the role of industry in helping the new Regulations achieve the beneficial outcomes we'd all like to see.

the small group workshop function effectively - and - that we are aiming to re-schedule

as soon as practicable - with the mid to end of Oct looking most probable.

Please note that this workshop is NOT FOR BEGINNERS, you MUST be involved in a current Last Planner implementation in order to participate.

Take-up in New Zealand is now such that there is a need for more advanced help for those with experience who are gaining benefits but want to go deeper, to gain more consistent results or simply troubleshoot existing implementations of Last Planner.

This one day workshop is designed with this in mind.

We will help you to develop a deeper understanding of the Last Planner system so that you can troubleshot and improve your current programmes, coach your team and lead initiatives that take you over the 69% bar and up into the 85% area of performance. 

CANCELLED

We have cancelled this meeting in light of the current situation in the region.

Lean Construction (LC) principles and tools are a proven route to reduced waste, customer excellence and increased margin.  The industry operates on a global average of 30% ‘waste’. Where is this waste?  How can you deliver faster, safer and better value projects?  

LC tools deliver swift results if you have engaged the people at the workface or ‘Gemba’ in a culture of wanting to do things better. To achieve this, you will need to learn how to Lead Lean Construction.

Marc Palmer is a project management consultant with 30 years of experience across diverse industry sectors and disciplines, and in the last 20 years mostly under NEC contracts. Recently with Meridian Energy, he led a three year project to replace the system that controls a third of New Zealand’s electricity generation. Marc was also Procurement Manager for Meridian, when he was responsible for the placing of over of 100 NEC3 contracts, including the first ever use of the Supply Contract. In 1994 he started a 10 year period as a Project Manager with British Airports Authority on large civil and building projects, all using NEC2. This was the time of the influential Latham Report “Constructing the Team”, a catalyst for reform of the UK construction industry and which recommended the use of the “New Engineering Contract” as a means of improving project performance.

IT WOULD SEEM THAT THE ONLY THING THAT IS CERTAIN IN THE BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION SECTOR IS CHANGE.

The Building Amendment Act 2013 was passed by Parliament on 27 November 2013. It was the result of a comprehensive review into the Building Act 2004 and is part of a package of changes introduced to improve the building and construction sector to ensure that it delivers good quality, affordable homes and buildings and contributes to a prosperous economy.

New and significant consumer protection measures under the Building Act came into effect on 1 January 2015. There have been changes to the Health and Safety at Work Act, there have been and will be further changes to the Commerce Act and Fair Trading Act and amendments to the Construction Contracts Act are likely to come into force later this year.

Presentations include:

• Earthquake Engineering Five Years On - Mike Stannard, Chief Engineer, MBIE
• Wellington City Council Earthquake Resilience - Steve Cody, Manager Building Resilience, Wellington City Council
• Private Sector View of Earthquake Resilience in Wellington - Duncan Fleming, Technical Director, Aurecon
• Current ‘Early Contractor Involvement (ECI)’ contract performance in NZ - Margaret Cobeldick, Researcher, University of Auckland

 Spread across one day, these two workshops of 'ECC risk provisions' and ‘Managing ECC compensation events' offer excellent NEC learning and development opportunities for delegates.

Though the particular focus is on the NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC), much of what is covered is just as relevant for most other NEC3 contracts.

OVERVIEW

NEC contracts have long raised the bar in terms of flexibility and the careful thought needed when dealing with risk provisions through the particular NEC3 contract chosen.

From early on at the concept stages of any project, risk must be given careful thought. It can make or break the business case of a project.
With particular focus on the ECC, and when writing the tender documents, the drafter has a number of matters concerning risk to properly deal with. Once the ECC contract is in place the parties set about reducing, avoiding or managing risk, as best they can, but they still need to be aware of how the contract provides for risk.
 
WHY ATTEND?

    Workshop sessions selected from key topics of interest within the NEC3 suite, drawn from extensive feedback and research within the NEC user base.
    Benefit from guidance delivered by renowned NEC3 specialists.
    Learn about the different risk provisions to be familiar with in ECC contracts.
    Understand the process of managing compensation events that may arise in ECC contracts.

 
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
 
Offered to both NEC Users' Group members and non-members, these workshops are ideal learning and professional development experiences for:

    Project Managers
    Employers and their advisers
    Contractors and their supply chain
    Consultants

 
SPEAKER

    Marc Palmer, NEC Consultant

“If you want to justify your extension of time claims then you need a source of truth – a live, well-designed programme with buy-in from all stakeholders.”

“LEAN is a methodology for process improvement, essentially it is a technique for removing waste and improving flow in processes. It can be universally applied across many industries, services and projects. Anything you do can be perfected, but the Lean tools enable you to focus on the root issues.”

KEY OBJECTIVES:

When asked “name some procurement methods?” people often mistakenly respond with lump sum, target price, fixed cost etc. However these are actually payment methods. Payment methods are just one part in choosing the ‘correct’ procurement process.

Most construction professionals don’t fully understand the correct way to approach procurement. It is a task that is traditionally done inconsistently and not best for project outcome.

In our industry there is a lack of awareness that procurement is also a risk management process. Project procurement is not just a case of picking up your last contract that you used and adding to it!  All too often we begin with picking a contract that was used on a previous project and then work out the rest from there! Odds are this approach is not going to give you the outcome you want.

• Highlight risk management as one of a set of integrated business and project management tools rather than a tool deployed in response to a specific anxiety
• Introduce fundamental disciplines needed to recognise risk and its potential impacts and respond with rational management decisions.
• Recognise the collateral benefits of good risk management.
