Why construction must embrace circularity
Darron Hall, Head of Sustainability, and Kathryn Castledine, Senior Sustainability Manager, explain why the construction industry must look beyond recycling and embed circular thinking
Increased productivity demands data-driven approach
Executive Managing Director, Buildings, Grant Findlay, writes in Construction Management magazine about data and productivity in construction.
In a sector where productivity gains have long lagged behind other industries, the call for a data-driven transformation is louder than ever.
In this compelling piece for Construction Management magazine, Grant Findlay, our Executive Managing Director, Buildings, outlines why construction must not only adopt data-centric practices but also collaborate around data to unlock real value.
Key highlights from the piece include:
- 95% of project data was historically unused – a missed opportunity we can no longer afford.
- AI and analytics are only as powerful as the quality of data they’re fed.
- Structured, accessible, and reliable data is now essential to meet the UK’s ambitious infrastructure goals.
- Cross-team collaboration and upskilling are vital to turning data into actionable insights.
"To streamline the sector, collaboration and shared learning are crucial. Sector-wide initiatives, like the Construction Productivity Taskforce, were established to improve UK construction productivity through data-driven analysis of live projects and to offer a better future by encouraging contractors to define a new way of working with data," Grant writes.
