In an era marked by rapid urbanisation, evolving regulatory landscapes, and increasing environmental consciousness, the UK construction industry faces a multitude of challenges - and a growing range of promising opportunities. To get a better understanding of what’s happening ‘on the ground’, we spoke to a range of professionals on the frontline of construction, including commercial developers; engineers; technical architects; contractors, sub-contractors; and purchasing, procurement, contracts, operations and site managers.
Through this specially commissioned research we were able to isolate the key challenges development teams face, along with the day-to-day pressures and issues they’re grappling with. This report highlights the key issues affecting construction, specification, selection and installation on development projects today and offers innovative yet practical solutions that can transform outcomes – turning these difficulties into efficient and sustainable gains.
