headquarters for CIBSE would enhance considerably the perception of our industry by national government and media, and their ability and preparedness to seek our reference and advice’. Such a cohabitation in central London
would decidedly ‘set the stage’ for the formation of a consolidated buildings engineering industry. We cannot, of course, expect this to

happen overnight; but we should now be investigating and establishing a mission statement and draft charter for a buildings engineering institution. And we need to include the wider engineering sector in this process of consolidation – in particular the Construction Industry Council, the Royal Academy of Engineering, and Morrell and Latham themselves. We can also get to work towards some concrete outcomes that include: l Establishing the means and methods of education and training for ‘buildings engineering’. This must extend from schooling through colleges and
universities to employment training and CPD;
l Setting up joint task groups for complementary subjects, initially BIM, façade engineering, structurally- incorporated HVAC systems and offsite pre-construction;
l Determining a programme of necessary research and development, working with universities, research organisations and manufacturers to pursue buildings engineering innovations;
l Ensuring that there are several MPs, peers and government officials joining/ backing this new profession; and
l Deciding the nature and scale for the new HQ and securing suitable premises. Preparing for a national and European launch (including having it welcomed in parliament and the EU), immediately followed by a first national conference over at least two days and preferably at the new London premises.
The proposition being made here is for the establishment of the title, profession and

We need to move rapidly to establish a buildings engineering industry, encompassing the harmonised practices of both building structures and services engineering
industry of ‘buildings engineering’. CIBSE and IStructE would take the leading roles in this, and would involve a range of bodies and manufacturing associations to create the Chartered Institution of Buildings Engineering (CIBsE), or, more simply, the Buildings Engineering Institution. Such a change would undoubtedly significantly help to push forward the sort of construction reforms that Latham, Egan and Morrell have been seeking, and that will surely help us all to prosper. CJ
