Striking accord
Article Abstract:
The 32 million pounds sterling Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, England, will be the new home for the city's Halle Orchestra. The project was originally awarded to a joint venture between Renton Howard Wood Levin (RHWL) Partnership and Beazer as a develop and construct contract, but Beazer's financial problems meant that the RHWL design was put out to tender under a design-and-build contract form. Contractor Laing North West was awarded the predesigned project and the building is expected to be completed by mid-1996.

Role reversal
Article Abstract:
Laing Chiltern is building a new theatre in High Wycombe, England under the JCT63 form of contract while the refurbishment of the adjoining town hall is a design and build project being built by Wiltshier Midlands. Laing's project manager admits the contract has not helped in a complex job and feels he was left out of decision making. However, the theatre will be opened in Nov 1993, within the contract time limit. It has seating for 1000, dressing rooms, scenery dock, offices and catering facilities.

Mingle minded: your next project may depend on who you know as much as what you know. If you want to win friends and influence people in construction, you need to attend the right events
Article Abstract:
Construction industry networking events give construction professionals the opportunity to meet people who could be useful in gaining lucrative contracts and commissions. Many networking events revolve around sport, providing a relaxed atmosphere, and industry reform groups can provide invaluable business links. In house events can reinforce relationships with people already know to a company.
