The richer scale

Article Abstract:

Executives' salaries in the UK construction industry have increased by around 10-15% since 1996 although some well qualified personnel have received increases of up to 50%. Executives in the construction industry often are awarded additional benefits such as extra pension entitlements, share options and luxury cars. The housing sector is very competitive with some senior posts remaining unfilled, whilst the civil engineering industry is less buoyant. Information for the study was based on data from the Hays Englemere Executive Recruitment operation.

Jonathon Porritt takes construction's side

Article Abstract:

Environmentalist and Forum of the Future Director Jonathon Porritt supports the construction industry being given additional help to redevelop brownfield sites. He acknowledges demand for environmental housing is not very strong. But he suggests there will be a return to more traditional skills and a move away from technology in architectural design. Porritt is due to speak at the Construction conference, Birmingham, England, during Mar 1999. He plans to call on the industry to look more closely at how they can recycle energy and materials.

Design for fuel crisis, warns Gummer

Article Abstract:

The British environment secretary John Gummer expects Britain to experience a fuel shortage in 20 years time and has asked architects to design buildings which will utilise energy efficiently to save companies money on the energy taxes which will inevitably have to be imposed. Green designs are not necessarily suitable for office accommodation with varying requirements because of features such as lower lighting levels and non-divisable office space. They also take more time to design and incur greater building and testing costs.
