Improving productivity in the UK Construction IndustryPhilip Collard
At the recent FT Future of Construction summit in May 2017, 34% of the attendees stated they saw infusing digitalisation across their business processes was a critical next step.
Reports from global management consultancies such as McKinsey and PWC are all clear in the conclusions; although slow to start, the construction industry is the next big sector to benefit from digitalisation.
We invite you, your colleagues and network to analyse the research with us, to see how productivity can increase exponentially over the coming 5 years.
There are real pressures to modernise, to adapt to changing environments and available technology, in line with the developments of other industries.
"Digitalisation gives us a chance to turn around the current picture of low margins, poor predictability and work winning productivity," says Philip Collard, CEO of myConsole. "After the bid cost research of 2014 showed that tendering alone is costing contractors and consultants £3bn a year, I see now as the real time to exploit digitalisation in procurement and work winning activity."
This presentation has been produced for a myConsole webinar, hosted 6th July 2017.

11. Identifying Expansion Opportunities Case study: Reliable project updates lead the way CDM Recruitment is a specialist recruitment agency for the construction industry based in Tyne & Wear. Covering the North East, the company have used Glenigan since 2001. Each consultant works in a different area of construction so the leads are divided according to the type of project being worked on.

Using a weekly feed of new development data as well as updates to existing records, Phil is able to forecast future demand within the telephony network across England, Scotland and Wales. In the last year, Openreach completed a detailed review of data from an alternative information service and found that they could not match the quality and accuracy of the data Glenigan supply. For Phil, Glenigan "were able to offer a much more detailed and comprehensive package that fully met our requirements and importantly, did so at an acceptable cost. It is vital to us that the data supplied is of good quality and accurate and over the years we have been very happy with what we’ve received. In addition we have always found the Glenigan team happy to look at ideas we have had for potential improvements to the data we receive.
