On 29 November 2017, seven of the UK’s major construction trade bodies joined forces to publish the Construction Industry Brexit Manifesto. Warning the government not to jump over a Brexit ‘cliff edge’ on the matter of EU workers, the bodies set out their vision of the sector’s responsibilities and requirements in a post-Brexit labour market.

The manifesto calls for a transition period of at least 2 years, followed by a migration system that serves and provides the required skills. The manifesto commits the trade bodies to recruit and retrain more UK workers, but it recognises that this is a slow process and skilled EU construction workers – of which there is close to 50% working in London – will continue to be needed in the meantime.

The seven trade bodies are:

* Federation of Master Builders.
* Association for Consultancy & Engineering.
* Build UK.
* Civil Engineering Contractors Association.
* Construction Products Association.
* Home Builders Federation.
* National Federation of Builders.

The manifesto makes 12 recommendations to the government and industry:

* Communications campaign to make clear current EU workers will be able to gain settled status.
* Message presented clearly by industry bodies and construction employers.
* Government should state the cut-off date will be the date of the UK’s actual withdrawal.
* Industry should work with CITB to conduct a census and other research.
* Government should agree a transition period of at least two years.
* Government should introduce a transitional regime for EU workers.
* Construction sector should agree realistic achievements in terms of increased training and recruitment of UK workers over the next five years.
* Any future migration visa system should be based on key occupations in short supply rather than arbitrary thresholds.
* Government should ensure the work visas are attractive enough to ensure quotas can actually be met.
* Government should take into account the centrality of self-employment models within the industry.
* Introduce a post-Brexit immigration system that takes into account small and micro firms.
* Create a more flexible regime that can work for small employers and self-employed firms.
