The Construction Playbook: Impacts and Adoption

14 December 2021

Published in December 2020, The Construction Playbook aimed to enable faster and greener infrastructure delivery through better approaches and stronger relationships between private sector clients and the supply chain. Twelve months on, has it begun to deliver on its objectives?

Background

Following the publication of The Construction Playbook in December 2020, this webinar will explore the impact it has had on our industry and whether it has started to deliver on its intended objectives to deliver a more efficient, safer, modern construction industry for now and the future.

Earlier this year, Buildoffsite published a report, An Offsite Sector Response to the Government’s Construction Playbook, highlighting how offsite suppliers can benefit from this whilst also challenging the sector to evolve.

Hear first-hand from that report’s author, Nigel Fraser, and gain insight from those who developed the Playbook as well as the supply chain and services tasked with delivering the objectives. We will understand what changes have happened in the first 12 months and what the needs to happen for wider adoption to drive better results for clients and the supply chain.
