Message from THE PRESIDENT AND THE CIOB CEO

Dear Readers,

Welcome to this fourth edition of Managing Construction. This edition marks another important milestone in our young chamber`s history.

In this fourth edition we will continue focusing on more interesting features that form part of the life cycle of a construction project. Furthermore, special attention will be given to the First International Built Heritage Conference which together with our international partner, the Chartered Institute of Building, we hosted in Malta this November. This event required a lot of coordination both locally and abroad. The outcomes of this conference proved all the effort and hard work to be worthwhile, not only because it was the first ever event of this kind and it was successful, but also because all the participants are looking forward for the next one.

Two other important milestones are covered in this edition, one of which is the now much awaited AGM. This is an occasion which apart from providing another opportunity for our members to meet in person and as they say, put a face to a name, it provides the chamber’s administration with a chance to provide the members with an update on the work done throughout this year and with what is in store for next year. Additionally, it is an occasion in which another group of new members are presented with their membership certificate.

The other milestone covered in this edition is an activity that we are very proud to be hosting. This involves the two H&S Courses for Professionals in collaboration with the BICC. Originally the idea was to have one class, but the demand was so high that in order to accommodate all those interested, we had to hold two classes; one at our office in Floriana and the other at the BICC premises in Valletta.

Have an enjoyable read.
