Closing the Productivity Gap

What is Productivity Improvement training?

A 4 hour introduction to productivity improvement module developed for the UK Construction Productivity Taskforce.

In 2020, leaders from the construction industry came together to identify and trial new ways to make the sector more productive. With average productivity levels in the construction industry remaining consistently below the UK average of other sectors, the group brings together leading figures in the sector – including clients, contractors, supply chain and consultants – to develop practical interventions designed to make the construction industry more productive.

Why does the construction industry need Productivity to improve?

  • Average productivity levels in the construction industry have remained consistently below the UK average while others have improved significantly.
  • In real terms, the gross value added to the construction industry in the last 22 years up to 2019 is just 12%, while the entire economy has increased by 53%.
  • Poor productivity is a significant factor in the profitability of organisations and return on investment for clients.
