The turbulent times have placed new demands on users of bricklaying tools to collaborate in new ways while adopting lean, sustainable working practices, it is suggested.
Constructing Excellence, which held its annual convention last week, is leading the way on this by bringing its local, regional and national operations under a single governing structure.
Ian Reeves heads up the organisation as chairman for at least the next year, with subsidiaries including the Building Research Establishment also affected by the change.
Mr Reeves says: "These are difficult times for the industry and business efficiency and productivity improvement through lean and collaborative working have never been more important for our future prosperity."
The comments tally with recent suggestions made at the Herts & Beds Constructing Excellence Club which could see the procurement of bricklaying tools and other equipment affected in the months to come.
Experts taking part in a debate at the club discussed the possibility of introducing accredited procurement as a means of maintaining confidence in the construction sector.
