How can we change the infrastructure sector for the better?

Whilst we identified many challenges facing the infrastructure sector we also identified solutions. But if we are to move forward, change will not happen without a clear mechanism for change.

Our report proposes a number of actions to effect this change and the partners involved in developing the report will need to play their part in effecting this change. However, if the change is to be industry wide and sustainable other partners and stakeholders will need to contribute.

Leading the change: The Welsh Government, and particularly those departments (and government agencies) who have a strong construction and infrastructure focus, will have a pivotal role in leading the changes needed.

Influencing the change: The role of the County Surveyors Society (CSS) Cymru will be critical in influencing the actions and behaviours of all of Wales’ local authorities as well as providing local leadership.

Implementing the change: Infrastructure designers, consultants and contractors have a hugely influential role in delivering greater value and both ACE and CECA Wales will need to bring their experience and coordinating roles to support the implementation of this report.

Championing the change: The Welsh Construction Forum, chaired by Welsh Government Ministers, offers a vehicle to champion the changes needed to deliver greater value.
