Our Values

To combat Blue Monday and support our own Gordon Graham kick start the fund raising for his London Marathon run on behalf of Dementia UK, we held a Scottish themed quiz today. The winning team scored a decent 11/15. So all left fuller, happier and little bit wiser about our friends and colleagues north of the border. #bluemonday #quiz<br>quiz #bluemonday

We are excited to announce that our next alinea forum ‘Getting High on Offsite’ will take place on Thursday 6th February 2020 at 6pm. Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) is rightly one of the current industry hot topics – but understanding and use remains mixed. High Rise construction presents a real opportunity for offsite so in this session we will explore its potential in the context of tall building history and economics. Key Topics: • Tall buildings trends and history • Key design metrics that drive high rise costs • Previous and current offsite high rise examples • The future of offsite high rise If you would like to attend please email events@alineaconsulting.com #alineaforum<br>alineaforum

At this time of year it has become tradition to look back over the past 12 months to remind ourselves of the year’s achievements. The truth is that there have been far too many to mention in one go and we take this opportunity to thank our clients, our people and our industry friends and colleagues for supporting alinea and giving the business the opportunity to experience an incredible year. The summary captures some of the 2019 highlights and we remain very excited to build on these achievements and create many more fantastic memories during 2020. We wish all of our readers a restful and enjoyable Christmas break and send magical alinea wishes for a prosperous new year.

A fun and enjoyable evening was had by all at last night’s annual Building Quiz. Seventeen teams entered to try to steal the crown from last years winners, Lendlease. The alinea team made a flying start and looked like they were going to romp home to victory, posing a stewards inquiry over the integrity of the Quizmaster! But in the end the winners prize went to Wates, who beat Opera into the runner-up spot. The evening raised valuable funds for the worthy cause of CRASH.

Fantastic evening celebrating our 6th birthday 🥳🥂 #alinea6years<br>alinea6years

We attended an Oxford Brookes construction career fair on Monday to advertise our graduate and placement opportunities for 2019/2020. It was good to meet students and offer advice to those looking to start a career in the construction industry #alineacareers #oxfordbrookesuniversity<br>alineacareers #oxfordbrookesuniversity

On 27th September, alinea hosted a Macmillan Coffee Morning combined with an office-wide 'Bake-Off' competition. A big thank you to everyone who baked, ate and donated - a top effort from all. #macmillancoffeemorning<br>macmillancoffeemorning

A few of us attended the Buildings London Summer Party last night, at which there was a very clever AI bartender that judged and poured a person’s cocktail preference based on a picture of their footwear.

We are attending the #BCOAwards next week (Tuesday 01 October), good luck to all who are nominated! #Awards @bco_uk<br>awards #bcoawards

This week, as part of alinea’s holistic approach to maintaining employee wellness, we’ve been focusing on financial wellbeing. We were delighted to host an informative Money Management Masterclass run by our Corporate Partner, Lionheart. This was an opportunity for people to obtain important information about personal financial planning and other monetary topics which may be generally overlooked. This interactive session, led by James Collins, an experienced financial advisor, covered subjects from good monthly budgeting, protecting your money, saving for the future and debt management. The Lunch and Learn session has enabled people to better understand how to manage their finances, savings and pensions in order to ensure a more stress-free financial future.

Today, we held our third annual Jeans for Genes event. We encouraged people to come to work wearing their best pair of jeans to raise awareness of the life-altering genetic disorders which affect half a million children in the UK. Donations to this worthy cause will be used to purchase vital equipment, train necessary staff, fund specialist nurses and provide invaluable family support sessions. @jeans_for_genes

This week alinea partner and @ctbuh_hq Chairman Steve Watts is in Shanghai for the 20th anniversary of the Jin Mao tower and attending a conference. Here’s what he’s said of his trip so far “Shanghai Tower is dramatic from every angle and distance. But I’m here to celebrate Jin Mao Tower’s 20th birthday. A truly remarkable building, and a fascinating talk by Adrian Smith this morning. Who’d have thought that architecture and mathematics could marry so beautifully?” #shanghai #shanghaiTower #tallbuildings #skyscrapers #ctbuh #loveconstruction #architecture #china #alineatravels<br>shanghai #alineatravels #shanghaitower #loveconstruction #architecture #ctbuh #tallbuildings #china #skyscrapers
