Speakers

With a host of speakers presenting throughout the event, delegates had the opportunity to learn about new practices from those at the forefront of construction productivity. With a focus on current hot topics such as models for productivity improvement, boosting on-site productivity using a platform-based approach, and maximising offsite delivery methods, the program offered an exciting insight into future-forward plans and initiatives on the table for the coming year and beyond.

As 2022 seems set to see a continuation in construction sector demand, and the UK looks toward post-pandemic economic recovery, business leaders in the built environment are facing a new set of challenges. Increasing labour and material costs, decreasing contractor confidence, and delays in the supply chain are all contributing factors in a perfect storm set to upset the balance of industry recovery. For those in the sector, construction productivity is the key to addressing these challenges. As businesses look towards improving output efficiency across all areas, the Construction Productivity Conference focused on addressing the balance between the topics of product, process, and people.
