AGENDA 15:WHAT YOU SAID

摘要

Back in January, Building launched the first phase of our Agenda 15 initiative, undertaking an industry-wide consultation to determine what those working in the sector believe the next government should do to best help create a successful, modern and sustainable construction industry. With that consultation now complete, we have been busy analysing the responses from the industry. We received a wide range of responses to our six consultation questions, from professional institutes such as the RICS and RIBA, trade bodies such as the UK Contractors Group and Federation of Master Builders, and from individuals and their companies - ranging from multinationals such as Aecom and St Gobain to one-man bands. Together they reveal the issues that matter most to industry -including better long-term infrastructure planning and help to address the looming skills shortage - along with your ideas on how government policies can help industry to address them. Over the next two weeks Building will look in detail at the responses received, before we begin the next phase of Agenda IS - again, with you - developing the themes that have emerged from the consultation into a fully-fledged manifesto for construction. Here, we look at the ideas put forward in answer to our first three questions, with the second three to follow next week.
