Modular construction is featured in the UK government’s Construction Playbook and forms a key part of the UK Government’s Net Zero strategy and the Levelling-Up agenda. Caroline Watkins explains the risks and legal considerations you should be aware of. #modularconstruction

Construction productivity is a complex problem requiring reform on many fronts. Risks include shortage of leadership, management and engineering talent, supply chain efficiency, contracting structures that unintentionally hamper cost-effective outcomes, and a lack of new entrants to the industry. Meanwhile, ambitious plans for new infrastructure across transport, health, energy transition, and the massive number of new dwellings we need are threatened. We all wish to expand this industry, and do better with the resources we have. https://lnkd.in/gNhTZpJF
