The study reported that the construction industry has actually lost productivity over the last 40 years.<\/p>\n<p>The causes for this are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Inadequate project planning, with workers spending up to 63 per cent of their time waiting around.<\/li>\n<li>Poor collaboration and communication on projects.<\/li>\n<li>Fragmentation of the sector causing too many handoffs and rework within the project.<\/li>\n<li>Shortage of skilled workers resulting in the slow adoption of new techniques and technologies such as BIM.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/new-principal-consultant-construction-process-appointed-bsria\/26203\/\">BSRIA<\/a> has found that many graduates entering into the workforce after university need to be placed on a foundation year of additional training before they are actually ready to be productive.<\/p>\n<p>BSRIA has led the industry in attempts to improve this with its publication and training course on BG6 Design Framework for Building Services, and its Soft Landings process which is progressively being adopted by government and other organisations.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Lee Training Manager at BSRIA said: &#8220;This is an urgent call to action for the construction sector to put vocational training at the centre of its improvement plans as we prepare to enter a new era.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_50304\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50304\" style=\"width: 241px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
