STATEMENT: Keith Waller responds to Construction Playbook launch

Commenting on the publication of the Construction Playbook today, Construction Innovation Hub programme director Keith Waller said:

The Construction Playbook is a critical game-changer in our transformative journey as a sector. The COVID crisis has brought us together as never before, exemplified through our ambitious CLC Roadmap to Recovery. Now, together with Government, we have a collective vision for what the future must look like.

Working closely with the CLC and pioneering leaders across industry and Government, we at the Construction Innovation Hub have spent the past year accelerating the crucial parts of our UKRI-backed transformative programme which we knew would be vital for both recovery and transformation. Our Value Toolkit, Platform Design Programme and digital workstream, along with other key projects, will play a critical role in turning the Playbook’s policy ambitions into a reality.

Fundamental transformation has never been more achievable.”
