The Broadgate legacy
Article Abstract:
Plans to develop London's Broadgate site began in 1984 and many UK construction industry executives got their first taste of construction practice working on the project. Builders developed new techniques and speeded up construction methods, increasing building rates and reducing costs. The construction culture allowed an open working ethos which encouraged meetings, union talks and management decision making. Construction firms Stanhope and Bovis are involved in the 1998 building project.
