Build UK will support the industry to adopt more effective ways of working to deliver better project outcomes by:

  • Improving efficiency, demonstrating capability and reducing cost in the construction supply chain
  • Developing and utilising innovative solutions to cut waste and improve quality.

Key projects

Construction Pre-Qualification System

Build UK, with the support of CECA, is rolling out the Common Assessment Standard to improve efficiency and reduce cost in the construction pre-qualification (PQ) process. The Common Assessment Standard is available from three Recognised Assessment Bodies, and Contractors and Clients have now started specifying that their supply chains are certified to the standard.

Increasing the Use of Smart Technology

With the last Build UK SmartCard Audit revealing that only 53% of cards were checked using Smart Technology, Build UK and CSCS have published guidance on ‘How to be a Smart Site’ together with a handy poster to help companies realise the benefits.

Improving Building Safety

Following the fire at Grenfell Tower in 2017, Build UK’s work on building safety focusses on four key areas: Insurance, Competence, Remediation of Existing Buildings, and The Future System.
