It’s therefore vital that the work of the new Construction Leadership Council is informed by the whole of the industry and the professional services sector has strong representation.”		The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) said, “The loss of the Chief Construction Adviser role at this crucial time will leave a significant gap in terms of drawing together the skills of the sector.

On 16 July 2015, Skills Minister at the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS) and Co-Chair of the Construction Leadership Council (CLC) Nick Boles MP announced that the CLC would be restructured. Ref [https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-welcomes-new-construction-leadership-council Gov.uk].

This followed concerns for the future of the CLC after a meeting was cancelled in June 2015 and then a subsequent meeting of the delivery group was also cancelled.

The Construction Leadership Council was established in 2013 to oversee implementation of Construction 2025: industrial strategy for construction, which sets out the government’s long-term vision for ‘…how industry and Government will work together to put Britain at the forefront of global construction…’ CLC is an industry / government council jointly chaired by the Secretary of State at BIS and an industry representative.

The restructuring of the CLC involved reducing the number of members from 30 to just 12. It was suggested that this was done in response to calls from the industry to make the council more effective and business-focussed. The new members are considered to have sufficient seniority, business skills and range of perspectives to be able to give effective leadership to the industry.

The Council will meet with ministers 4 times a year to advise and update them on efforts to drive improved productivity and growth.

Specific work streams were also created to deliver improvements to working practices:
*Skills.
*Supply chain / business models.
*Innovation.
*Sustainability.
*Trade.

The new Council is intended to ‘build on the work of the government’s Chief Construction Adviser (CCA), a role created in 2008 to support joined-up working between government and industry, and to add expertise to the role of government as construction client. Since that time, the Government Construction Strategy was developed, Construction 2025 published and the CLC created. The government argue that this has led to duplication of roles. As a result, the CCA position will be scrapped in November 2015 when the tenure of Peter Hansford ends.

The Council’s industry co-chair, David Higgins, said, “I’m delighted the government has responded to calls for a smaller, more business-focused Construction Leadership Council. The new Council of 12, with its business leaders from across the sector, will be best placed to drive the skills, innovation and productivity outcomes to help the industry build on its recent growth.”

New Council member, Madani Sow, Chairman & CEO of Bouygues UK, said, “The UK’s construction sector is growing and leading the way in many fields, but productivity and skills are big issues we need to address and I look forward to working with my colleagues on the Council to achieve this.”

However, there was some anger from the industry, with the Construction Products Association (CPA) suggesting the Council would “…no longer represent the whole construction supply chain as it does not have an industry leader from construction product manufacturing or distribution. The decision means one-third of the construction supply chain by value will be absent from the Council’s membership.”

The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) stated, “The loss of the Chief Construction Adviser role at this crucial time will leave a significant gap in terms of drawing together the skills of the sector. The industry needs to look at how the workstreams announced will be coordinated to avoid silos developing in the new approach. It’s therefore vital that the work of the new Construction Leadership Council is informed by the whole of the industry and the professional services sector has strong representation.”
