Under the Microscope

How can we best maintain social distancing on construction sites?

Episode Summary

The Construction Leadership Council today issued revised guidance on site safety during Covid 19. But to continue working efficiently in the medium to long-term term does the sector need a more innovative approach too? The Project Management team in Bidwells’ Oxford office brought together site managers and architects, now working on the Covid 19 coalface, to discuss how to better use the current guidance and share what’s working in practice.

Episode Notes

Bidwells’ Derek Farrow, Partner in Project Management, is joined by Craig Cullimore, Director at ADP Architecture, and Anthony Nagle, Construction Director at BAM Construction, to discuss:  

• What is happening on site now, what’s working well, and what not so well (2.22)?
• Are small or large sites affected most by social distancing (6.20)?
• Are there things architects can design into the process to make things easier on sites (7.12 and 13.59)?
• What more can government do (9.45)?
• Can we maintain productivity levels or do we need to accept a large fall in the coming months (12.05) ?
