The ICEC 2022 World Congress took place on 12/15 June, hosted in Rotterdam by the Dutch association DACE (Dutch Association of Cost Engineers).
AICE participated with presentations and participations in round tables for discussion on the future of Economic Engineering and on ICMS.
We thank Dr. Emanuele Banchi, Eng. Gianluca di Castri and Eng. Daniela Pedrini for their contribution to the event.
Finally, here we are.
It started in July 2020 the AICE and RICS Italia collaboration for an ambitious and apparently simple project, namely the translation into Italian of the International Construction Measurement Standards to propose them to the national market. First it was establishment of a Technical Commission and subsequently a Scientific one, both Italian.
There are many challenges in this journey.
First, a linguistic and not a literal translation: it was immediately clear that in order to make the Standards speak Italian, not only lexical knowledges were required, but as well a study and analysis of the principles underlying them. The Anglo-Saxon languages, indeed, expose concepts in a different way from us, through a simplified linguistic structure, entrusting words to the transmission of a vision, often highlighted by a capital initial of the main words and composing them. Without this study, an effective translation and proposal would have not been possible.
AICE and RICS Italia, together with the main associative and academic institutions, introduce the ICMS - pdf International Construction Measurement Standards (4.48 MB) to the Italian construction sector.
The spread of ICMS in Italy will allow greater transparency in the measurement of the costs of individual projects, from their conception to their finished product with actual benefits in terms of financial and operational management. This is a fundamental job to make the Italian construction sector more competitive and transparent and to standardize it for the most advanced international markets.
The project will be formally launched in the Italian market during the AICE event titled: "RECOVERY PLAN: PROJECT SET UP AND MANAGEMENT - A reference proposal from those who implement the projects!" (https://www.livemediaset.it/giornata-aice-2021/) to be held on February 5th, 2021.
