The objectives of the study are:
– To identify areas where cost savings can be made in UK construction supply chains and the barriers to achieving those savings.
– To identify elements of the UK construction supply chain that tend to be imported and understand why domestic firms are not competing.
– To recommend actions that Government and Industry can take to improve competitiveness of UK construction companies by overcoming barriers to the achievement of cost savings in construction supply chains.
The methodology developed to meet the objectives of the study includes a literature review, a detailed study of supply chains made possible by direct support from main contractors and their supply chains, and a series of structured interviews with members of construction supply chains.
