About this Event
This joint event between YTKO, the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and supported by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) will bring together experts on policy and legal changes which will impact the construction sector and wider built environment in 2026.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to find out about funding, supply chain and training support across the West of England.
In particular, this event will include details on low carbon construction and will promote the Retrofit West initiative, a funded scheme (backed by the West of England Combined Authority) to help homeowners reduce their energy costs and build the supply chain for environmental technology installations.
Please note this event is for over 18 only.
This learning activity can contribute to your annual CPD return and should be logged accordingly.
