The UK construction industry must assist the UK government and public in the coronavirus \u2018war effort\u2019 says Mike Leonard, visiting professor in manufacturing and construction at Birmingham City University<\/a><\/h2>\n

As the country faces an unprecedented health crisis<\/a>, Mike Leonard has urged those in the construction industry to \u2018step-up\u2019 to play whatever roles will help, as we all go to war to defeat Covid-19.<\/p>\n

Leonard, said: \u201cWe are all facing an unprecedented health crisis, which will result in a huge number of premature deaths and the collapse of many thousands of businesses in the construction sector alone.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this time our only priority must be to save lives and the wider construction industry will step-up to play whatever roles will help, as we all go to war to defeat Covid-19<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have lorries, premises and skilled staff all ready to take on new tasks to help look after our people, as we fight the war against this invisible enemy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Calm before the storm<\/h3>\n

He added: \u201cThe UK construction industry is currently going through the calm before the storm, manufacturers of building materials are experiencing higher than usual demand as merchants, home builders and contractors try and get ahead of the curve and secure supplies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe outdoor nature of the industry makes it safer than other sectors to carry on at the moment as evidenced by the diggers in full swing, busily carrying out the enabling works for HS2.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the threat increases and we move at speed towards a now inevitable complete lockdown, construction will progressively close down. The budget hotels, the weekday home for so many travelling construction workers<\/a>, will shut, demand for new homes will evaporate and the home extension and maintenance markets will cease to function.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be left with only essential workers, ensuring our emergency services can continue to operate and supporting the neediest, such as those with heating failures and water leaks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Economic interventions<\/h3>\n

Leonard added: \u201cThe industry is very grateful for the unprecedented economic interventions so far, but much more needs to be done, particularly for the huge army of self-employed workers<\/a> who make up the majority of the construction workforce.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is vital that we retain our skilled workers and keep as many as possible of our businesses solvent and continued Government support offers the only credible route to achieving this objective.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we eventually emerge from this crisis, the time will come to rebuild our economy and get people back into work. The solution, as has been the case for past economic shocks, will be to \u2018Get Britain Building\u2019, which has a massive multiplier effect.<\/p>\n

\u201cResearch carried out by Dr Steve McCabe of Birmingham City University and the Building Alliance, illustrates that fulfilling the plan to build 215,000 West Midlands homes between now and 2031 would generate a \u00a339bn uplift to the West Midlands economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis multiplier is a direct result of the use of British manufactured building materials, merchants and local labour. If we use offsite and modular buildings fabricated outside of the West Midlands, using imported raw materials, the multiplier simply does not work and the opportunity to create jobs and inclusive economic growth is lost.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe construction industry is known for its resilience, in the short term, our focus must be on saving lives as things look set to become much worse before they get better.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must also use the time constructively to plan for the recovery and provide the economic bounce the country will so badly need. This may include \u201coven-ready schemes\u201d to improve our 26 million homes, discount programmes to attract first time home purchaser\u2019s and fast track schemes to train new entrants to the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
