Writing in the June edition of Professional Builders Merchant, editor Paul Davies discusses the issue of recruitment into the construction and building materials industry, highlighting a new ‘sector awareness’ initiative being launched by the Builders Merchants Federation Ltd: “Talk about a career in construction and young people, schools, careers advisers and even older job switchers typically picture a building site. Specifically talk about working for a merchant, and they don’t really understand what it can offer them...” See the link or the image below to read the full story: https://lnkd.in/ehB4-YB3 #buildingmaterials #buildersmerchants #ukconstruction #recruitment #careers #training #jobswitch

The skilled trades industry is experiencing a significant shift in perception, with more young adults considering it as a viable career path. Bradley Jolly, CEO of Jolly Plumbing, has observed this change in the past decade, noting a decrease in stigmatization around trade jobs. As the stigma lessens, more people are considering careers in the trades, including women, who are increasingly becoming high-performing employees. However, the industry is facing a labor shortage, with many experienced trades workers nearing retirement. The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce recently hosted a panel discussion on the need for more skilled trade workers. The panelists emphasized the importance of increased educational resources to train prospective workers. The panelists also discussed the need to align career and technical education programs in public high schools with those at technical colleges and universities. This would ensure a cohesive framework that supports the local economy's needs. https://lnkd.in/g9-9-hFu

?? “There are challenges to [making a better margin], getting the right blend of contract terms being one. A lot of clients are sensible about contract terms and we try and align ourselves to those customers.” That’s the view from Build UK’s Vice Chair Paul Brown, from John Sisk & Son, who shares his thoughts on the challenges facing the construction industry and the need for an appropriate level of risk transfer. Build UK’s recommendation on contract terms identifies six contract terms that should be avoided in order to promote collaboration and realise better project outcomes. Read our guidance on implementing these recommendations, which sets out how to manage underlying issues in a more collaborative way, with specific guidance for both JCT and NEC contracts ?? https://bit.ly/409DwCv

???"What's the #market doing?" ? Well looking at #tenders on EstimateOne and speaking to #Construction Professionals, this is what I understand it to be; ???Tier 1 & 2 - Not a heap of projects out there right now. Take a look at the city. Not as many cranes as there once was, but each firm still has 'enough' on the books. They are looking at the future with optimism and even smaller projects that they may not ordinarily look at, but its not doom and gloom by any means. ??Tier 3 - VSBA, Local Council & Private School builds are SUPER competitve on tenders, but that has always been the case I've found. Commercial projects & Warehouses seem to be steady, but not fast flowing. Some of the upper tier firms are looking at projects that would have previously been underneath their range. Equally, smaller players are competing for the tier 3 sized jobs, because their pre-lims are lower and its a stretch goal for them to achieve bigger projects. ??Fitout - Going well! Even though we've unfortuntaley seen some companies cease to exist in the past 12 months, Fitout seems to be pretty steady with work, albeit slower to sign contracts, but the sentiment of "we're doing well" seems to be acorss the board, certainly for the smaller firms and start ups (which we're seeing plenty of). ????So it's "not bad" but we've had it better. A "market correction" is what some people have said to me, and I tend to agree. If you're currently working for one of Melbourne's leading construction companies and wondering what's out there, then feel free to give me a shout, or take a look at the 3D Commercial website for the leatest roles I'm working on. #melbournejobs #melbourneconstruction #melbourne #victoria #recruitment #jobs
