Executive Summary
The construction sector provides the UK with a robust competitive advantage. The
capability of word-class architecture, engineering, and design is yet to be fully exploited in the
UK. The British construction industry is at the forefront of delivering modern-day construction
The sector faces an urgent need for a skilled workforce capable of delivering change by
2025. As the global economy recovers from the recession, the construction industry must retain,
recruit, and develop a skilled workforce sufficient to meet the rising demand. There is a pressing
need to update the older people, as well as nurture and develop young skills to realize the vision
of digital construction.
(BIM). BIM employs sophisticated technology to create 3D models of construction assets, and
hold massive data about their designs, and current operations. Combining the internet of things,
digital economy, and robust data analytics techniques, will enable the sector to effectively
construct at a lower cost and maintain and operate the constructions efficiently.
In the wake of the Covid 19 pandemic, the construction sector faces a significant
challenge to illustrate its development in health matters. Coved 19 pandemic provides greater
insight into the industry measures and progress in health matters. The mechanics of coping with
the epidemic will have a significant impact on the construction sector going into the future.

The government will seek to enhance certainty and clarity to allow sustainable, low
carbon, and green construction exports. To achieve this plan, the construction industry must
enhance client capability by providing quality solutions, as well as creating efficient waste
management methods. Also, the government must improve understanding of future work
opportunities to develop latitude of skilful recruitment, investment, and training that supports
construction vision.
Buildings are processes, not completed products. Obsolescence occurs due to physical
decline, technological advances, changes in the economic conditions, and user requirements. The
construction industry may need to start evaluating the factors affecting the demand of
construction assets. The ability to adapt will be a crucial element of success and profit in the
future of the construction industry. This paper reviews the construction 2025 strategy and
Introduction
The construction 2025 strategy document was published in July 2013 and consists of four
chapters which detail the UK government ambitions. In collaboration with the construction
industry, the government seeks to achieve radical changes in construction by 2025, which will
transform the construction industry and other sectors (United Kingdom Government, 2016). The

Construction 2025
The 2025 construction strategy is a well-written document with several themes and action
points that will be delivered by different industry bodies within the construction and technology
sectors. The first chapter of the 2025 construction strategy discusses the contextual aspects of the
construction sector and the government's strategic orientation regarding how the industry affects
the UK's economic growth. The chapter depicts the construction industry as the pillar of the UK
economy that will see the development of other sectors proliferate. Additionally, the contextual
aspects of the construction sector are covered in various sections. The chapter extensively
discusses the weaknesses and strengths of the industry. Among the main disadvantages of the
initiative include low supply chain vertical integration, rock-bottom innovation, and increasing
construction cost. On the other hand, the industry strengths include big supply chain, UK
economy dominance, high-class designs, and low cost of entry (HM Government, 2013).
Further, the first chapter outlines the construction industry scope. The industry is diverse,
with varied and broad markets. It consists of forestry, quarrying, and mining and provides
assets. The chapter cites a 10% proportion of the UK population work in the industry. Although
there is potential, the industry growth has been stagnant since 2007 due to the falling demand of
the assets in the industry, such as private and commercial housing (HM Government, 2013).
The government offers support through strategic planning to revive the sector and
consequently unlock development. The UK government provides financial support and oversees
the construction of various infrastructural projects. According to the chapter, the economic
controllers will create a streamlined and coordinated approach to old and new infrastructure. The
UK government intends to simplify the infrastructure landscape, which will then attract

investors. Other areas that will unlock the development include housing, private rentals, and
The second chapter discusses in detail the strategic priorities of the 2025 construction
strategy. The underlying theme of the plan is the excellent and quality life of UK citizens. Hence,
three main areas of concern include digital design and smart construction, sustainable low carbon
construction, as well as the development of improved global trade. However, these strategic
priorities will only be possible if there are sufficient skills and diverse human workforce (HM
Government, 2013).
The chapter also highlights how the UK economy will build a competitive advantage
through digital designs and smart construction initiatives. Digital and better systems are central
to the UK transition to the smart economy, making Britain digitally built. The innovative
technologies will enable the sector performance to be monitored and consequently lead to high
efficiency and economic growth. Another advantage of digitalized construction is that it will
require fewer production materials, therefore leading to a green economy. Also, the smart city's
plan will ensure the UK government capitalizes on the increasing global demand for digital
Additionally, the chapter details how the UK construction sector will transition from a
high carbon economy to a green economy. In collaboration with the government, the
construction sector set to tap resource efficiency and built environment to cut carbon to 50%.
Additionally, the carbon-free economy will present the UK economy with export market
opportunities through the new supply chain. The chapter describes the growing global
reputation for engineering, design, and architecture. The reputation will make the UK renowned

Further, the scope of low carbon construction extends to cover and improve water
efficiency, biodiversity management, and noise management. The government will create
technology and market-based plans to generate growth and job opportunities. Additionally, the
green deal, which will protect the consumers through robust standards, will benefit UK citizens
Government, 2013).
The third chapter of the 2025 construction strategy discusses the drivers of change, which
is critical for the UK government to achieve its construction industry vision. The fundamental
changes will lead to a better image of the industry, improved workforce capability, future job
opportunities, better procurement, and client capability, a resilient and robust supply chain, as
The UK government will commit itself to better the image of the construction sector
through various approaches. Among the approach is the engagement of the youth to improve
performance in the maintenance and repair market. Additionally, the government seeks to
improve safety and health by minimizing occupational health issues. Through the health and
safety initiative, the UK will be known for its excellent and safe working environment (HM
Government, 2013).
Further, the chapter discusses the strategies to improve work opportunities in the future.
In that regard, the possibilities include program planning and collaborative projects, skills and
resource planning, business strategies, and sectoral planning. The tunnelling capability analysis

will increase the transparency of the pipeline procurement in the future and evaluate the
Additionally, the chapter describes the role that the clients and procurement will play to
transform the sector. The acquisition of the products and materials will have a significant effect
on the construction sector transformation. Also, the procurement process is wasteful and
bureaucratic; hence the government seeks to revolutionize the supply chain. In that regard, the
UK government commits to improve procurement efficiency and search for efficiency gains
options.
The chapter discusses the failure and opportunities of the construction industry to
improve its supply chains. The government provides support and ensures fair payment across all
the construction projects. Besides, the government commits to bring more efficiency in payment
and finance practices, as well as to create better conditions for the supply chain in the
construction industry to thrive. Additionally, the strategy will utilize the world-class research
base to bring forward green construction and smart designs and to maximally exploit Building
The fourth chapter highlights the leadership of the strategy. According to the section, the
vision requires robust leadership from all the construction industry stakeholders. In that regard,
the sector council will oversee the planning and implementation of the construction 2025 plans.
The industry bodies will be held responsible for the ownership of actions.

by the industry, despite the declining trend of sector development since the 2008 financial crisis.
In that, regard the document content is consistent with the strategic context of construction 2025.
Chapter 1 of the construction 2025 strategy posits that the UK government seeks to strategically
enhance the construction sector to realize further opportunities for economic growth.
Also, the economic analysis document reviews the changing global economy. It discusses
the dramatic changes in the demand for construction products. The key features of the worldwide
economy identified include the manufacturing value chain which different countries can focus
on. Additionally, there are demographic changes in terms of ageing population and loss of skills
as well as population increase. The document also describes the increasing demand for green
construction and the opportunities for export markets. In comparison, the document analysis
