From the Editors – Construction Law International – July 2023
China Irwin and Thayananthan BaskaranWednesday 5 July 2023
Dear readers,
We are pleased to introduce the June issue of Construction Law International, which we hope our readers will find to be interesting and instructive.
A number of contributions to this issue address the use of technology in the construction industry, including a look at current approaches to the delivery of complex technology sub-projects in infrastructure and construction projects; the use of drones for planning and design as well as to carry out virtual site visits; and the growth of technologies, such as the use of drones, producing non-text data which may be relevant to disputes. These articles will no doubt touch on issues our readers have encountered – or will encounter – in practice, and offer insight into navigating the landscape of new technologies.
This issue also includes a number of other articles offering perspectives from Australia, Brazil, India and Zambia, as well as a report on the 8th Biennial Conference on Construction Projects from Conception to Completion which took place in Berlin in May.
We thank our contributors for their efforts and hope this edition provides enjoyable and informative reading. As always, we encourage all ICP members to share their experiences by submitting articles to China Irwin at cirwin@lalive.law. We also take the opportunity to wish everyone a nice summer!
