Conference: Construction in Poland the risks and rewards

IVSCTuesday 6 February 2007
09.30 to 17.00
Radisson SAS Hotel, ul. Grzybowska 24, Warsaw, Poland

The last fifteen years has seen a development boom in Poland. In this connection much has been said about the real estate market and its key players. Less attention has been given to the construction side, the processes involved and to the professionals such as building economists, quantity surveyors, project managers, designers and constructors who have played a key role in the development process. This one day conference seeks to redress the balance and focus on current issues in the Polish construction sector.
