The Challenge
We all know that the health of the construction industry is inexorably linked to the performance of the wider economy. This means that over the next few years it is likely that investment capital for new public and private sector projects is going to be that much harder to come by and also probably more expensive to service. At the same time the performance of buildings and the associated design and construction processes will need to become ever more sustainable.
The challenge will really be on for construction businesses to become much more competitive if they are to be successful. Clients along with businesses at all parts of the supply chain, will need to become much smarter in the way that buildings are conceived and procured and more certain as to the value that individual suppliers contribute to the delivery process.
This Stakeholder Debate will feature contributions from some of the UK’s most expert clients and suppliers who will set out how they are responding to the new economic reality by implementing more efficient design and construction practices. Practices that seek to eliminate waste in all its forms in order to add genuine client value. They will also be identifying those aspects of the process where they will be looking for further innovations that will have the effect of bringing the process of construction more into line with the practices of leading manufacturing industries. Implementing these innovations in practice will have significant implications for the new skills and competences that the industry’s work-force will require.
The event will also include a contribution from Paul Morrell – the Government’s Chief Construction Adviser on the major strategic priorities and opportunities for the industry.
