Rapidly delivering five primary schools for Powys County Council and identifying over £4k of in use cost savings through Energy SynergyTM
In December 2020, the Government launched its eagerly anticipated Construction Playbook. Derived from both the recommendations of both the public sector and industry, including Willmott Dixon, the 83-page document is a blueprint to drive positive change in an industry that was worth over £117bn to the UK economy in 2018.
The Construction Playbook has been designed to support public sector construction, although its principles can also be adopted for the benefit of private sector construction. It outlines the role the UK construction sector will play in the country’s recovery to the Coronavirus pandemic as well as the role the construction industry will play in reducing the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050.
Within the Construction Playbook are fourteen key sectors, providing a wealth of best practice. Some of the key points laid out in the document include:
Willmott Dixon welcomes the release of the Construction Playbook, providing clarity and direction for customers, and an agreed standard for contractors to comply to. Speaking about the release of the Construction Playbook, Rick Willmott, Willmott Dixon group chief executive comments:
“The Construction Playbook provides a well-illustrated direction of travel for the industry and an opportunity for green growth, to work better with customers, social enterprises and supply chain partners and deliver local prosperity through integral social value. Alongside the wider industry, we look forward to embracing the challenge laid out ahead of us.”
Many of the topics laid out in the Construction Playbook are already embedded in Willmott Dixon’s ways of working:
