Architect becomes President of the Chartered Institute of
Building
The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) has for only the second
time in its 174 year history elected an architect as President.
Keith Pickavance, who is a Senior Vice President for Hill
International, has become the CIOB’s 105th President.
Commenting on his appointment, Keith said, “The built environment is
a fantastic and challenging industry to be involved in, and to be
honoured by its leading professional body in this way is very
humbling.
“The CIOB is a community of professionals working across the built
environment not bound by geography or discipline, and that gives us
a uniqueness that I am proud of and truly reflects the diversity
this industry supports.
“My term will include the familiar themes of sustainability, health
and safety, ethics and education which will no doubt continue to be
familiar issues for future President’s of the CIOB. There are other
topics that we as an industry are facing. Some grab more headlines
in the media than others for obvious reasons. But two that I think
need more awareness are population ageing and time management.
“We know that population ageing is pervasive, in fact it’s a global
phenomenon affecting everyone - but countries are at various stages
of the process, and the pace of change differs greatly. Those that
have started the process later will have less time to adjust. For
the built environment that has an impact on the use, lifecycle and
design of our buildings.
“Time related risk and the analysis of delay and disruption are
parts of my everyday job as a specialist so its no coincidence that
I am interested in how the industry manages it’s time. The research
that we recently launched at the House of Commons shows that on the
whole complex construction projects in the UK are likely to be
finished more than six months late, due to poor time control. The
results indicate that the growth in training, education and skill
levels within the industry in the use of time-management techniques
has not kept pace with the technology available.
“There is a role for us to play here and we will provide standards
in effective time control by facilitating education and
accreditation. On top of that there is a need for us to promote an
increased awareness of the importance of project planning and
scheduling in the industry.”
Renny Borhan, Hill International’s managing director for the EMEA
region, said: "To be named president of the CIOB is a real
achievement both for Keith personally and for Hill International as
a company.
"Over 30 years, Keith has built up a global reputation as an
authority on construction management and disputes and for promoting
professional standards within the industry.
"With his extraordinary experience and expertise, I believe Keith
will bring a new focus to the position in terms of his commitment to
implementing better time management practices, improving efficiency
in the industry and avoiding disputes.
"This role will enable him to wider impart this expertise and I can
think of no better ambassador for the industry on both a
professional and personal level."
Keith is an architect with construction management experience. He is
the author of ‘Delay and Disruption in Construction Contracts’ (3rd
Edition 2005) and ‘Construction Law and Management’ (2007). Keith
has had numerous articles published in leading technical and legal
journals and regularly contributes papers on delay and disruption
related issues.
His academic qualifications include a Diploma in Architecture, an
honours degree of Bachelor of Laws, and a Diploma in International
Commercial Arbitration. He is currently a Fellow of the British
Academy of Experts, a Freeman of the Worshipful Company of
Arbitrators, an international associate of the American Bar
Association, a Member of the Project Management Institute and a
Member of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
As an expert he has been appointed on over 400 occasions in a broad
variety of cases involving such diverse projects as housing,
shipping, IT supply, oil and gas, road rail and air transport, multi
-storey buildings, power generation plants, hospitals, commercial
and industrial buildings, petro-chemical and other process plants.
He has given evidence in a broad variety of civil courts and both
domestic and international tribunals on more than 20 occasions over
a period of 30 years as a testifying expert and has sat as an
arbitrator, adjudicator or mediator on over 80 occasions.
