Construction Industry Leaders Join Forces To Tackle Productivity
A new Private Sector Construction Playbook has been released by a cross section of the built environment to tackle low productivity, combat the skills shortage and reduce the impact of low margins and investment in UK construction.
UK construction productivity growth fell by an average of -0.6% each year between 1997 and 2019 according to Oxford Economics. Over the same period, the productivity of the whole UK economy rose by 2.8%, while the productivity of manufacturing grew by 3.9%.
In real terms, this means that a larger workforce is now required to match historical output, making construction increasingly expensive. Operating under such conditions makes innovation more challenging.
