The British construction industry faces “inexorable
decline” unless radical action is taken to modernise it, a government review
has found. The Farmer Review of the UK Construction Labour Model, commissioned
jointly by the CLG and the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial
Strategy, has published a damning verdict on the sector. Its most radical
proposal for change was the introduction of a ‘levy’ on schemes, which charges
additional tax of up to 0.5% of the scheme’s value if it does not support
innovation or training. The report slammed the construction sector’s
“dysfunctional training model, and its lack of innovation and collaboration, as
well as its non-existent research and development culture”. Download the report
from the CLG website.
