What’s being said about Government Construction Summit 2013…
Peter Hansford, Chief Construction Adviser said:
“We are entering a new era by setting a long term forward-looking strategy where industry and Government work in partnership to position the UK as a front runner in the global race.
Building our expertise and exporting our technology and knowledge is vitally important to getting us on this track, and the Government Construction Summit will provide crucial insight to this new way of working. It is a great opportunity to hear direct from Ministers the positive steps Government is taking to support growth in the construction industry and generate growth in the wider economy. It is an exciting time to be at the centre of innovative public sector construction. With this being my first summit as the Chief Construction Adviser, I look forward to exchanging ideas with as many of you as possible at the event.”
Chloe Smith MP, Cabinet Office Minister:
“The Government Construction strategy is reforming the industry to be more efficient, more innovative and better placed to compete in a global market.
We are now recognised as a world-leader in the use of digital technologies such as BIM and in designing public buildings like the London Olympic stadiums. We have achieved significant savings for the public purse whilst building this competitive excellence.
At home, we have saved £447m in 2012/13 alone and this has allowed departments to get more for less. It also provides suppliers with new business opportunities enabling growth of our economy. I will talk more about our reforms for growth at the Government Construction Summit.”
