Re-thinking the business of building

Dry laying Redi-Rock blocks into a running stream, the project at Nailsworth came in at 75% less cost than alternative solutions.

Using the latest construction methods and the best practices

“We are not inviting UK construction to look at what it does already and do it better; we are asking the industry and Government to join with major clients to do it entirely differently. What we are proposing is a radical change to the way we build. To achieve the dramatic increases in efficiency and quality that are both possible and necessary, we must all ‘Re-think Construction."

Sir John Egan: “Re-thinking Construction.”

The series of key challenges facing the UK construction industry today are captured in two words – leaner and greener.

Leaner because the sector must improve competitiveness through reducing all unnecessary costs in process and product while maintaining high quality performance.

Greener because the sector must recognise that it lies at the very heart of building sustainable communities in which we all live.

Answering these challenges requires both a re-examination of established methodology to seize on lessons learned and improve on past failings as well as a vigorous commitment to innovation and continuous improvement.

In this way old and new will work hand-in-hand to secure the future of the sector.
