SCAPE Group Chief Executive, Mark Robinson has been appointed co-chair of the Construction Leadership Council (CLC)’s Building and Places workstream.

As co-chair, Mark will be liaising with the Government to identify how public and private sector investment in infrastructure, buildings and regeneration can best serve communities.

Re-established in 2023, the workstream aims to promote good placemaking, efficient and sustainable construction activity, and investment into innovation and the industry’s capacity for future development.

The Construction Leadership Council plays a vital role in helping to implement more efficient, sustainable and integrated approaches to construction. Encouraging collaboration and reaping the benefits of public-private partnerships is something I have been focussing on for years during my time at SCAPE. I look forward to working with the CLC to bring these practices forward more widely.

In 2024, the workstream’s activity centred on the priority areas of net zero construction, private sector construction productivity, for which it produced a playbook, and the improvement of payment practice.

Current activities include responding to the Government’s Infrastructure Levy consultation, reviewing policies and best practice in support of the industry’s net zero targets and working with the Building Safety workstream to improve safety practices onsite.

SCAPE launched its Charter for Change earlier this year, calling for the Government to use the construction industry as a catalyst for driving better outcomes for the public sector as well as resilience and economic growth.
