Whitehall's new construction adviser reveals priorities

摘要

The government's new construction adviser Peter Hansford has said his priorities in the role will be to bring about cost and carbon reduction in construction and improve skills and innovation in the industry. Speaking to Building this week, Hansford - who takes over from Paul Morrell as the government's chief construction adviser next month - said the industry needed to work on all four fronts to make progress. He said he was particularly keen to marry the cost and carbon reduction agendas to drive the industry forward. "This is not just about reducing cost it's about reducing carbon and the two are very integrally related," he said.
