| Compact with Industry |
| The Construction Playbook has been co-developed and endorsed by the Construction Leadership Council and wider industry |
We, the signatories to this Industry Compact, confirm our support for the Construction Playbook. The Construction Leadership Council, wider industry and academia has participated fully in its development. Through the collaboration of the Construction Sector Deal, the sector has accelerated innovation. Now, with the launch of the Construction Playbook, we have the opportunities to create long-term relationships that will underpin our investments in people, technology, and capacity.
We recognise that the industry needs to change to become more productive and more predictable. To succeed, not only does there need to be a measurable improvement in project outcomes, but the market needs to change as well. The development of long-term, strategic collaborative relationships needs client support. With the public sector following this Playbook, we can do this faster and more effectively.
All parties will benefit from change. In this Playbook, government sets out to reward industry partners for delivering improved value through faster, better, and greener delivery. This includes a more consistent and equitable approach to risk transfer and the promise of a fair return.
In response to these client-led initiatives, industry also has to change. We will need to develop new solutions including improved digital capabilities. We will need to work more collaboratively at all levels of the supply chain, and we will be asked to place more focus on social value, sustainability, and asset performance. We fully support this partnership approach.
Changes on this scale will only take place if the whole industry works together. On the industry-side, we need to share the vision and consistently apply the principles across all members of the project team, from consultants and contractors to specialists and the building materials supply chain. The whole sector has an opportunity and a role.
The Construction Playbook supports our aims of improving the performance, profitability, and sustainability of the sector. Its publication is the start of a journey, and the approach set out will develop over time. We will all progress faster and will be better equipped if we engage fully with the Construction Playbook and its implementation programme.
