May 2023: Things To Look Out For

As we move into the month of May 2023, there are several trends and factors that are worth paying attention to for those involved in the construction industry here in the UK. Here are a few key things to look out for:

1. Materials and supply chain: Due to a range of factors including Brexit-related disruptions, labor shortages, and increasing demand for raw materials globally, there have been ongoing issues with supply chain and material shortages. This is likely to continue to be a challenge in the coming months, so it’s important to plan ahead and ensure you have a reliable supply chain in place.
2. Sustainability: The UK government has set ambitious targets for reducing carbon emissions and achieving net zero by 2050. This means that sustainability will continue to be a key consideration for construction projects, with a focus on things like energy-efficient design, renewable materials, and reducing waste.

4. Skilled labor shortages: As with many industries, the construction sector is facing a shortage of skilled workers. This means that it’s important to invest in training and development programs to ensure you have a skilled and experienced workforce.

Overall, these are just a few of the things to keep in mind as we move into May 2023. By staying on top of these trends and challenges, you can position yourself for success in the months and years ahead!
