With less than four weeks to go before the UK is due to leave the EU, the Construction Plant-hire Association<\/a> (CPA) has urged the construction sector to consider contingency planning and to be aware of potential delays in the construction supply chain<\/h2>\n

CPA is warning members and the wider industry to also assist and guide EU staff.<\/p>\n

Kevin Minton, Chief Executive of the CPA said: \u201cThe prospect of a no deal Brexit<\/a> remains real and we urge our members to consider contingency planning and risk assessment around the impact this could potentially have.<\/p>\n

\u201cCompanies need to be aware of where they fit in the construction supply chains<\/a> they operate in and a no deal Brexit could mean potential delays in work if supplies being imported from the EU are held up by customs checks. This will, in turn, impact on work schedules and project delivery in both the short and medium term.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIn such a period of uncertainty, open dialogue and communication are absolutely critical at all levels of projects between contractors, sub-contractors, suppliers and clients in order to identify potential delays and issues that might not be immediately obvious.<\/p>\n

\u201cA no deal Brexit might impact on companies in many unexpected ways and only by being open with each other can these issues be identified and overcome.\u201d<\/p>\n

Minton went on to say that retaining access to skilled EU staff and labour after Brexit is vital for construction.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cWith well-documented skills shortages<\/a> being felt across the construction industry, we cannot ignore the impact leaving the EU may well have on the availability of labour.<\/p>\n

\u201cCompanies should take every step to ensure their EU staff are aware of the steps they need to take to apply under the EU Settlement Scheme for both themselves and their families.\u201d<\/p>\n
