Cladding crisis 'deepens': new study warns that UK industry faces capacity shortage worse than late 1980s boom

Article Abstract:

A government-funded study of the UK cladding industry undertaken by Bath University's Centre for Window and Cladding Technology concludes that a capacity crisis is looming. The six-month study reveals that the industry will find it more difficult to satisfy current requirements than it did in the boom of the late 1980s. There is an increasing shortage of specialist subcontractors and of companies able to take on large contracts. The report suggests ways construction can improve its use of cladding.

Five QSs bid for Whitehall relocations

It manages around 300,000 sq mt of offices in London, England.
