AIQS to feature at BILT ANZ 2018!
Once again in 2018, the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (AIQS) will join us as an official supporter at BILT ANZ in Brisbane. In 2017, we were joined by Peter Clack, the then president of the AIQS. We had a number of sessions geared for Quantity Surveyors, that sparked some fantastic discussions centred around the future of the QS industry and how it stands to benefit from better use of technology. Discussion was also held on the benefits to the project on early involvement of the QS in the modelling process.
Based on feedback, for this year’s event we’ve put together a schedule with multiple sessions that are geared for multiple types of professionals. AIQS (and BILT, in support) see that the future of our industry is best served by actively breaking down the silos traditionally present. A more engaged team that is more attuned to how each can best contribute will more effectively achieve set outcomes. Where some have been absent and less effective, they need to be more proactive and we need to embrace them.
AIQS is very much on the front foot in realising the potential impacts technology could have on their profession; they have assembled a BIM committee focused on specific objectives. It will be very interesting to see more of their achievements and goals over the foreseeable future, because of the value a more BIM-savvy Quantity Surveyor can contribute to a project, to a project’s team, and to a client’s organisation.
CPD point claims associated with BILT ANZ 2018 will be recognised by AIQS on a basis of 1 point per hour of learning (i.e. conference sessions). If you attend all three days, you are therefore eligible for up to 16 CPD points. Moreover, BILT is offering a 20% discount on registration to AIQS members.
There are many sessional offerings that would suit Quantity Surveyors, Estimators and Project Managers alike, as they are focused on topics such as Project Management, Project Planning and Project Controls – all with a BIM flavour. If you want to know more about how to how to make best use of BIM to de-risk your projects, join us May 24-26 at BILT ANZ!
