You can see what is available here, and the many other career options apprenticeships give you.

The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), focused on the manufacturing and process element of the work..The Building Research Establishment (BRE), dealing with the quality and assurance aspects..

The Centre for Digital Built Britain (CDBB), handling information management and the need for data in order to foster learning in everything we do, and to do things in a more efficient and effective way..The opportunity for this sort of package was recognized in the 2017 Industrial Strategy.This was a significant step because the problems facing construction are long-standing and well known.

During the last few decades, while other large industries have gone through transformational levels of change, the construction industry has remained relatively static.Following on from the Latham and Egan reports in the 1990s, in 2016 the Farmer Report concluded that the industry must “modernise or die.”.

Sully says that the key element we’ve been missing in construction is the ethos of collaboration and innovation found in other industries.

It’s a somewhat odd situation considering that the construction industry is inherently a collaborative one.They asked themselves, ‘What if we imagined a scenario in which we didn’t need the chemical that makes the PPE necessary?’ Although it was beyond the scope of construction, they realised that wearing PPE for eight hours a day is hot and difficult, uncomfortable and inefficient, at odds with the values of the enterprise.

In the end everyone agreed that it would be ideal to eliminate the hazardous chemical.This focus on the workers’ experience typifies the comprehensive and multifaceted approach of Design to Value.

Conversing and collaborating to the point where imagination expands is the work of Design to Value..The process must be evolutionary – you have to have conversations and see where they take you.
