Thanks to Andrew Maher, Independent Financial Advisor at Maher Brownsword, who visited our office to give a talk on pensions and investments.

Most people stress about money from time to time. Mental health and money are connected. Andy provided insight into some common concerns and offered simple solutions to control personal finances for the future.

Key things to think about:

• The sooner you start thinking about your pension, the better. Start saving now and ride the curve
• A key time to invest is when shares have dropped
• Diversification in investments can be observed by seeing how different assets respond to the same situation
• Consolidate your pension pots for ease and monitoring
• Monitor/review your pension at least once a year. You can do this yourself or by consulting a financial advisor
• Reduce debt as early as you can, save for the long term and invest
• Aim for 3-6 months rainy day funds. Store these in stocks and shares or cash ISAs, where you can easily access your money
• Find out what your long-term sick benefits are at work. Have you insured yourself?

A big thank you to the Modest Merchant for hosting a wine tasting evening at our office last week.

A great evening trying out a range of wines from several different regions in Spain and learning more about the family producers.

Perhaps with this new found knowledge we will refine our drink choices….. 😉

When we get busy, we sometimes forget to look after our bodies properly. Sitting incorrectly at our desks and at home, and lack of movement can lead to increased stress.

Courtesy of Raymond at Optimal Spine & Sport Dimensions, the Concert team had a Spine and Posture Check Up last week. Raymond evaluated the team and gave a few simple tips on how to improve the way we stand, sit, and work at our desks or even read a book. All these factors affect our posture without realising, and then a few months down the line we often wonder why we suffer from back or neck pain!

We also had the opportunity to unwind with a Yoga and Breathing session hosted by Rachael Little. Starting with breathing exercises, Rachael helped us to enjoy a moment of calm before going about our busy days. Following this, we performed a series of yoga poses, with the focus to improve both flexibility and balance. Yoga is a great way to exercise self-care, relieve stress and keep moving, especially for desk workers and can be practised by both beginners and the more advanced. The team really enjoyed having some time out from worrying about the endless stresses of the day as we focused on being our best yogi selves for a moment!

We don’t have to climb mountains but taking just a little bit of time out of the week to focus on physical wellbeing can make all the difference.

“We need to collaborate to really shift this industry to a more sustainable one. I am talking about workplace design. And we all know that this is responsible for about 40% of emissions. So we have a crucial role as designers to really start to change our design behaviour in order to make users more sustainable.”

- Ana Rita Martins, Senior Associate, Sustainability & Design, Woodalls

To show how important it is to look after our mental health, Concert is hosting a series of wellbeing sessions for employees during April and May. With April being Stress Awareness Month and Mental Health Awareness Week falling on 9th-15th May, there is no better time than now to explore different ways of improving mental health.

Stress comes in many shapes and forms – mental, physical, financial and social, are the types we are addressing in our sessions. We kick off our wellbeing activities today with Mental Health Awareness Training, provided by Better Bankside. Then on 28th April Concert employees will have the chance to get a spine and posture check up with Optimal Spine’s Michael Camp.

In May we will have the opportunity to unwind with a Yoga and Meditation class hosted by Rachael Little. We will then address other areas that cause stress by taking part in a Finance Workshop with Andy Maher and a Sleep Workshop with Neil Stanley. At the end of the month, we will have a picnic in the park to come together to enjoy the company of our teammates.

Wellbeing in the workplace is something we need to be addressing every day. We pledge to keep listening to our employees' needs, just as we do our clients, now and in the future.

April is Stress Awareness Month.

Since 1992, Stress Awareness Month has served to raise awareness of the causes and cures for our modern stress epidemic. For many, the last two years have been some of the most challenging times we have faced. This year’s theme is Community, shedding a light on the need for support to combat loneliness and isolation, which can have a huge impact on mental wellbeing.

To show how important it is to look after our mental health, Concert will be hosting a series of wellbeing sessions for employees during April and May. We hope that the various activities will boost employee morale and inspire the team, by learning a bit more about different ways to combat stress in our day-to-day lives.

In 2021, Constructing Excellence South West (CESW) conducted a survey which found that 1 in 10 construction workers admitted to having poor mental health and 62% confessed to feeling stressed.

Overworking in the design and construction industries is not unheard of and often gets taken for granted. Stress can come from top-down pressure, e.g., deadlines, cultural stress, i.e., the pressure to meet cultural or societal norms, or local pressures, these are specific to the person, e.g., ambition and family obligations. Overwork occurs not only on site or in the field but also in roles such as consultants and contractor back-office support. Stress may also be caused by factors such as working across multiple time zones or remote working. All of these factors can lead to worker fatigue.

We all feel stress at some point in our lives, lets support each other in beating it.

“We can radically transform a building whilst still using its existing core structure and in that, develop and maintain some strong sustainable lines. It’s considering what the building has intrinsically to offer and how we can work with that, delivering a paired down, more sustainable approach to the whole process of design through to delivery. And I think we’ve certainly seen; it can be quite successful. But before the design can start, there’s got to be the economic argument of what’s going to happen. But repurposing buildings has a huge role to play in making sustainability more approachable, particularly for those in the Built Environment.”

- Clive Hall, Director, BDG architecture + design

Modern Methods of Construction seems to be a phrase that we are hearing a lot about recently. MMC have so many benefits, but the construction industry just does not seem to be moving forward with much pace in this area. Really, there needs to be an agent for change.

If you were wondering what the barriers are to the Built Environment from advancing in this area, then you’ll be thrilled to know that a team of industry specialists and our very own Associate Director Andrew Allbon recently participated in a roundtable held by engineering consultancy HDR where they discussed the topic.

Some great thoughts offered by all: Richard Papworth, Director at HDR, Leigh Burnett, Asset Manager at Ergo Real Estate, Mike Easton, Director at Structure Tone, and Trevor Bonnage, Operations Director at Mace.

Concert is pleased to share that the North Wharf Gardens scheme for Concierge 3 has reached practical completion.

We oversaw the cost consulting aspect of this new build development in Paddington, London. The BREEAM Excellent project is part of the Paddington Basin Masterplan, restoring this unique location between Paddington and Edgeware Road.

The mixed-use space comprises a Premier Inn, serviced apartments for Wilde by Staycity, a Bar + Block restaurant as well as a 27,000 sq ft MBS Sixth Form building, a new faculty of the nearby Marylebone Boys’ School.

The project work was undertaken as part of an overarching scheme which endeavoured to create a vibrant, residentially led mixed-use development.

Well done to all involved: Powell Dobson Architects, White Ink Architects, TPS, H***e Lee & Caldwell Consulting, Fairhurst & MCR Consulting, McAleer & Rushe and Michael Slattery Associates.

Although official figures are yet to be released, it is rumoured that circa 20,000 people attended Mipim 2022, a large but anticipated drop from the 27,000 attendees recorded in 2019.

Many businesses approached with a degree of caution following the long hiatus from this goliath of an event.

There are many different versions of the Mipim experience and whilst given world events, the mood was appropriately more restrained (in places), but it is evident that the appetite for face to face meetings with peers and clients is well and truly alive!

With in person conversations restored, the business sentiments for the property sector and construction industry in the conference centre and along La Croisette were refreshingly positive and upbeat, as we look to 2022 and beyond.
