Construction Leadership Council

The official Linkedin page for the UK Construction Leadership Council [CLC]. The CLC’s objective is to drive industry improvement. It draws together business leaders from across the construction sector to identify how to promote solutions to meet the ambition of a 33% reduction in cost, a 50% reduction in project time, a 50% reduction in carbon emissions and a 50% reduction in the trade gap. The construction sector is massive, representing 8% of GDP and 10% of employment. It is 6 times larger than the automotive industry. Every year £150 billion is invested through the public and private sectors – creating the foundations for UK growth and playing a key role in achieving our clients’ wider social and environmental objectives. At its best the UK construction sector is world class. We have a global reputation for our architectural and engineering skills and for our ability to deliver low carbon and sustainable solutions for the built environment. Our recent record of delivering mega-projects is the envy of the world. Our areas of focus are: DIGITAL – delivering better, more certain outcomes by using BIM enabled ways of working MANUFACTURING – increasing the proportion of off-site manufacture to improve productivity, quality and safety WHOLE-LIFE PERFORMANCE – getting more out of new and existing assets through the use of smart technologies. By focusing on these 3 themes, and working with other organisations to join forces, mobilise and accelerate change, we can move the ‘dials’ to benefit the whole industry.
