SUMMARY:Canadian Infrastructure Market Cost Outlook
DESCRIPTION:The last few years have massive price rises across materials and labour in the infrastructure sector driving up project costs and putting some projects at risk. Although some prices of key materials have stabilized the demand for labour remains high\, with certain skills in particular demand. Price volatility\, an ambitious pipeline\, increased investment in the United States\, and busy residential and commercial construction sector are all contributing to unpredictable market.

SUMMARY:Canada-UK Roundtable: Dispute Resolution and Conflict Avoidance
DESCRIPTION:Canada invested $90 billion on infrastructure in 2021\, over two thirds of that came from the public sector. With the scale\, geographic spread\, and mix of investments there will inevitably be issues arising that can lead to claims and disputes that can ultimately end up in court. \nBased on research by HKA covering almost 100 Canadian projects\, claims bumped up project costs by an average of 22 per cent\, and extended timeframes by 9.5 months. KPMG also estimated claims on urban transit projects could amount to between 10-20% of the contract value. \nThis roundtable provides an overview of how the UK introduced a new process of conflict avoidance spearheaded by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and Transport for London. The Conflict Avoidance Process has helped slash the number of issues reaching dispute\, cut the direct cost of resolving issues\, and reduced contract cost increases markedly. \nThis session will explore the success of the Conflict Avoidance Process at Transport for London\, its use across the infrastructure sector in the UK\, its evolution into an industry-wide pledge\, and its incorporation within UK government policy. \nParticipants: \nCo-Chairs: \n\nBarbara Capes\, Assistant General Counsel\, Kiewit\nPaul Hughes\, Senior Director Cost Consulting and Project Management\, Altus\n\nPanelists: \n\nFergus Harradence\, Deputy Director\, Infrastructure and Construction\, UK Department for Business\, Energy and Industry Strategy\nSusan Barrett\, Head of Renewals and Renovations\, UK Houses of Parliament\nMartin Burns\, Head of ADR Research and Development\, RICS\nJohn Fletcher\, Director Alternative Dispute Resolution\, RICS

SUMMARY:Moving from Cost to Value and Net Zero
DESCRIPTION:As towns and cities in the UK and Canada continue to grow\, transit will play an increasingly important role in connecting people to jobs\, supporting economic growth\, reducing environmental impact\, and as the anchor for Transit Oriented Development/Communities (TOD/TOC). Transit systems are expanding in both countries with major investments in infrastructure and vehicles\, but to encourage more people to ride transit there are many factors to consider. These include: the design of transit stations and integration with surrounding communities; getting the right service levels and timetables; and making travel simple and more convenient for riders. \nBoth the UK and Canada are focused on the role transit and infrastructure will play in economic recovery\, and both have committed to reaching net zero emissions by 2050. The transport sector is responsible for around a third of emissions in both Canada and the UK\, and congestion costs billions of dollars and pounds each year. Well-functioning transit systems can help to address both these issues and deliver wider economic\, social\, and environmental benefits. This roundtable will provide an opportunity to discuss how to boost transit ridership\, and support both countries on the journey to net zero.

SUMMARY:Moving from Cost to Value and Net Zero
DESCRIPTION:Environmental performance and economic value go hand-in-hand when assessed over the lifetime of infrastructure. When projects are planned and procured it is often only the upfront costs for design and construction considered. More innovative designs and building materials may cost more initially\, but can reduce lifecycle costs and substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the years a piece of infrastructure is in use. By capturing that lifetime value it becomes easier to fairly compare proposals and deliver long-term cost savings and environmental benefits. \nBoth the UK and Canada are focused on the role infrastructure will play in economic recovery\, and both have also committed to producing net zero emissions by 2050. This roundtable will provide an opportunity to share best practices on how infrastructure investment can deliver better environmental and economic outcomes\, and support both countries on the journey to net zero.
