The Construction Playbook goes on to describe some key points for good contract management and advocates building and maintaining supply chain relationships, all of which will be music to the ears of the SMEs who make up the bulk of our industry.
Last, but by no means least, there’s a chapter describing the transition to operation – advocating early preparation and adoption of a government soft landings approach, as well as transparent evaluation of projects and programmes success. This chapter could almost be the Playbook for Operance.
I’m aware I’ve just written a fluffy love-in of a piece about the Construction Playbook but I’m fine with that. I’m sure there will be Eeyore’s waiting in the wings, ready to undermine the vision laid out, and yes, there could have been more on carbon but hopefully, even the naysayers will see the benefits of the document.
The Construction Playbook puts digital construction front and centre for our industry and provides a solid foundation on which we can build our future.
