What lessons can we learn about previous economic downturns? Kris Hudson examines how the construction industry may be affected.

As output growth continues to slow and borrowing costs rise, the challenge for the industry must be on finding ways of improving productivity, says Kris Hudson.

Construction can still avoid the perils of stagflation. But it needs to improve productivity and combat the skills shortage, says Kris Hudson.

It is only by measuring construction site productivity that we can build a stronger, high-performance sector, says Katy Dowding. “Productivity isn’t everything, but in the long run, it’s almost everything,”…

Happiness is key to workers’ productivity. Building teams as well as buildings is part of the key to solving construction’s productivity conundrum, says Nicky Rance.

Lendlease is leading the development of a new construction productivity ‘playbook’.

Forward planning and investment are key to boosting construction’s lagging figures, writes Kris Hudson.

Alex Kaitsis says motivation is the solution to construction’s productivity problem
