Why?• The built environment does not meet the needs of society
• Buildings use far more energy than designed
• Contribution to UK’s greenhouse gas emissions
• Costs the UK economy of traffic congestion
• Cost of treating illnesses caused by poor living conditions
Transforming Construction

• 9% of UK employment
• Skills shortage
• Training deficit 50%
• Wasteful building processes
