What is the Construction Productivity Taskforce?

With average productivity levels in the construction industry remaining consistently below the UK average, leaders from the construction industry came together in February 2020 to identify and trial new ways of making the sector more productive. The group brings together leading figures in the construction industry – clients, contractors, supply chain and consultants – to undertake practical interventions designed to make the sector more productive.

Members of the taskforce include: British Land, Landsec, GPE, Lendlease, Mace, Skanska UK, Sir Robert McAlpine, Morrisroe Group, SOM, Cast and Bryden Wood. Meet the individual members of the Construction Productivity Taskforce.
