The following is a summary of 10 thematically categorised features and observations about the industry that are overt manifestations of more deep-seated issues identified in Section 2.
Whilst the review is tasked with looking at the 'Construction Labour Model', there is a need to zoom out to macro industry-wide issues before focusing back in on how these are impacting the construction labour market and its skills challenges.
This section is not meant to be a definitive list as many of the issues highlighted have been covered at length in other reports and commentaries. However, rehearsing the main points is important in illustrating why the actions that the review is ultimately suggesting are necessary.
| Where the review has found evidence of current exemplary activity, it has highlighted these as short case studies throughout to show what an aspirational, industry-wide level of behaviour or outcome might look like and to contrast this against current industry norms. |
