Tribunal: Roof gardens count as seventh storey

So many of the issues we have in construction regarding workforce employment, skills, training and retention are a direct function of our project based pipeline. The incentives to take long term decisions on investing in people is limited by low levels of confidence in maintaining a sustainable workload across economic cycles, further hampered by increased risks in navigating planning and other regulatory requirements.
