Construction Services

The UK construction sector is an extremely varied industry, consisting of many different types of companies, services and skills.

Companies include contractors and consultants, along with building materials and product producers. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with up to 500 employees are the most numerous, with a relatively small number of large companies.

Construction professional services include architects, civil and structural engineers, building services engineers, surveyors, quantity surveyors, managers and more specialist professionals. Engineering accounts for the most work, followed by architecture, surveying and management. A small number of large firms generate over 60% of UK fee income, with more than a third accounting for just 2%.

Construction Services and Sectors

Those offering services and skills in the construction sector include architects, bricklayers, electricians, plumbers, plasterers, joiners, roofers and welders, together with many other more specialised trades.

Types of projects undertaken include private building, (the largest area), along with infrastructure, (a growing category covering essential facilities like roads, bridges, tunnels and power supplies). Other types of work include public buildings, private housing, public housing and private finance initiative (PFI) building.

Construction Project Services

The sort of construction services called upon during a typical project would include initial design, pre-construction consulting, programme and project management, scheduling, estimating, costing, sub-contracting and finance.

In addition to the actual earthmoving, site preparation and building work, other services that can be involved later might include construction management, design and build, interior design and decorating, roofing, security, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), electrical and plumbing work.

Once the construction has been completed, building maintenance service engineers may be called in regularly to ensure systems continue to run properly.

Construction Services - Best Practice

In order to cope with the changes taking place in the construction sector, it is constantly looking at adopting best practice measures aimed at achieving increased customer and employee satisfaction, improved safety and productivity, reduced environmental impact and of course, higher profits.

Areas highlighted for best practice application include procurement, partnering, risk management, value management, sustainability in construction, benchmarking, supply chain management, whole life costing, health & safety, and lean construction.

Organisations like Constructing Excellence are seeking to improve industry performance to provide a better built environment across sectors and across supply chains. Improving the service the construction industry provides to its clients, while at the same time ensuring the future viability of the many different service organisations within it.

Other cross-industry bodies with similar aims include: the Reading Construction Forum, the Design Build Foundation, the Construction Best Practice Programme, Movement for Innovation, the Local Government Task Force, Rethinking Construction, Be and the Construction Clients' Group.
