Cliff L'Aimable is a Chartered Surveyor
specialising in UK Building Regulations currently associated to a building control body as authorising signatory to landmark building developments within the regeneration programme being administered by the London Borough of Southwark
, such as the Shard London Bridge
( aka. London Bridge Tower ).
His specialist knowledge in the application of building regulations, fire engineering, environmental conservation, structural engineering, construction technology and public health matters has been used on various projects associated with the Elephant and Castle
regeneration on behalf of the London Borough of Southwark. In the UK he has become established as a presenter of building regulations related subject matter using both multimedia media productions and professional publication journals.
An unusual day-to-day account of his life as a Surveyor was published on a web-based building blog during 2004-2006 which caught the attention of an established building magazine publication. The blog was reviewed by Building (magazine)
in 2006 after it had already attracted a global readership. He has since stopped recording his professional life in this way focusing instead in the promotion of building control (building regulation) issues in countries where climate change and the consequential rise in sea levels is predicted to have devastating economic and life safety consequences within the next 100 years.
The first ever building control seminar by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors
attracted much media interest in Mauritius
during late 2008. L'Aimable as main guest speaker overviewed the British system of statutory control of buildings and explained how some parts could be adapted for use by smaller developing island countries in particular to their economic advantage. Le Matinel reported his speeches on energy and building control systems at the event as "..Parcours Ingénieux" (ingenious route), a way forward for Mauritius during the revision of its current Building Act (Mauritius) legislation. Although now living in Paris, France he is currently the Chairman (UK Southern Region) representing the Association of Building Engineers, the professional body for those specialising in the technology of building based in the European Union, and is also currently a Construction Industry Council
(CIC) (South East) - Executive Committee member.
