Team Build 2010

Last weekend, the finals of the annual Teambuild UK event took place at Eynsham Hall, in Oxfordshire, and ECA employees Scott and Brendan were both part of finalist teams, in collaboration with, among others, our friends at Expedition, Arup, WSP & Grimshaws

Teambuild sees young construction industry professionals form multi-disciplinary teams and pitch to be involved in a major construction project. The winners are invited to Eynsham Hall to present their masterplans, and then take part in several design and contract related tasks to decide on a winner. This year, tasks were centred around the Nirah development, who very kindly allowed competitors to remasterplan part of their site.

It was a fast paced weekend, both around the work tables as teams worked against the clock to complete tasks, and in Eynsham Hall's award winning bar late into the night.

We are proud to announce that one of the ECA teams was selected to win the Worshipful Company of Chartered Architects's procurement prize for best performance in the procurement task.
