Construction is one of the largest sectors in the UK and significantly underpins the UK economy. In 2017, it contributed £113 billion to the UK economy and employed 10% of the UK workforce.

The sector is not, however, without challenges, including skilled workforce shortages, low-profit margins and low uptake of innovation and digital solutions. Could you help support the sector in making the changes required for this sector to flourish?
