The UK construction industry is the sixth largest industry in the
UK in terms of turnover. During the last decade, it has undergone
an unprecedented period of self-examination, including input from
most of the leaders of the major suppliers and clients as well as
from leading politicians, civil servants and political advisers.
From 1993 to 2003, government and industry collaborated closely to
achieve political and structural change in the industry and to
bring about nothing less than a re-organization of the way it
undertakes its business. This key text is an objective presentation
of the critical issues inherent in the construction industry during
this time. Providing invaluable source material for students of
government/industry relations, industry practitioners and clients,
and for economic and social commentators, this valuable resource
draws on revealing personal accounts from politicians, civil
servants, advisers and industry leaders, as well as factual
reportage, archives and official papers of the period. Informative
and enlightening, this book objectively details and documents
exactly what happened at this time, and the reasons for it, and
offers an unbiased interpretation of the successes or failures of
the various initiatives that emerged, including the Movement for
Innovation, Rethinking Construction and Constructing Excellence.
