Building the Argument: What makes project management in the Construction sector different?
APM event, hosted by the South Wales and West of England Network on 25 February 2026. Speakers: Dave Corbin, Head of Client Accounts, Gleeds Claire Biggs, Senior Project Manager, J4 Projects The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome members from the CIOB to this joint event with Dave Corbin, Head of Client Accounts at Gleeds and Claire Biggs, Senior Project Manager, J4 Projects. Dave is the APM’s Built Environment Interest Network Lead, and Claire is a member of the IN Volunteer Group. Dave and Claire discussed the various project life cycles used for built environment projects, including different procurement routes, the partnering approach being adopted by the sector, statutory approvals, and how sustainability is being addressed. To start things off, Dave and Claire had some Slido poll questions for the audience. Firstly, whether the audience worked in the built environment sector, 65% said they did. Are PM skills transferable between sectors? The response was equal between totally and mostly. Can the APM generic life cycle smooth project delivery across any sector? Mostly yes or not sure. Is training available to help PMs transfer to the BE sector? Don’t know and no. How can the BE attract recruits to the sector what are we doing that discourages people? Various responses including too masculine culture, poor pay, lack of awareness. The responses were captured and added to the slides.
