It is now widely accepted that the construction industry has a central role in delivering development which is sustainable. 'No change' is not an option for us, or for industry.
ConstructionSkills is planning how to provide the construction industry with the knowledge and skills it needs to build sustainably and to realise the full commercial benefits.
Sustainability is subject to a variety of different interpretations and the jargon can be very confusing. We have tried to clarify all these terms in this section.

Why should I get involved?
To make 'Build to Last' a reality, it will require everyone in the chain - from investors to operatives - to know what their role is and to ensure they have the skills and knowledge to deliver. |
