London networking event - Urbano Build networking breakfast with Mark Farmer

Urbano Network is London’s leading pan-sector independent business network with over 5,000 Member & Associate Companies, ranging from boutique practices and SMEs, to corporates and PLCs.

Urbano Build is one of our most vibrant business communities with its own programme of regular networking events in London aimed at architects, developers, property investors, designers, interior designers and other professionals associated with the built environment sector to make connections, gather information, create associations and find new business opportunities.

In February we welcome Mark Farmer, author of the influential Modernise or Die report and CEO of Cast Consultancy, championing modern methods of construction (MMC) in housebuilding. Continuing the theme of zero carbon, modular construction and housing standards, alongside the skills shortage we face in the industry, we will hear the lastest developments from Mark - from disruptors to structural changes - and the significance of attracting new talent and technical skills to drive transformation.

This event will be relevant to a wide range of disciplines in the industry - planning, architecture, engineering, construction, environmental, sustainability, digital, building services, air quality, noise, crafts, designers, manufacturers, developers, talent and apprenticeship schemes, etc - from those starting their career, to those in leadership positions.
