The construction boom is good news for the industry but also brings challenges including maintaining quality and ensuring projects are delivered on time. Margins and the supply chain are under pressure and the collapse of Carillion and local contractor Forrest has shaken client confidence in the industry. This session will explore how the industry can work with clients and investors to attract investment to the region and rebuild confidence in the supply chain whilst delivering successful outcomes at necessary volumes.
