href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionforum.scot\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/RecoveryPlan.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">draft recovery plan<\/a>\u00a0for the sector, launched last week by the Scottish Construction Leadership Forum (CLF)<\/h2>\n<p>The CLF is now appealing for feedback on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/scottish-construction-recovery\/81739\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">its draft plan<\/a>, with small and medium enterprises (SMEs) particularly encouraged to make their voices heard before submissions close on 15 September.<\/p>\n<p>Launched on 28 August, the plan was created after extensive consultation with more than 50 organisations across business,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.scot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Scottish Government<\/a>, trades unions and other bodies, including the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cicvforum.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Construction Industry Coronavirus (CICV) Forum<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Representing a shared sector view of how to get the industry back on its feet, it outlines the immediate and short-term response to Covid-19, setting out a pathway to the longer-term transformation required to build a stronger, fairer and greener economic future for Scotland.<\/p>\n<p>Identifying five areas for concerted efforts, with associated sub-groups for each, the plan calls for key actions to respond to immediate needs<\/p>\n<h3>This includes:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A clear pipeline of work brought to market quickly and efficiently on fair commercial terms which reflect the reality of the Covid-19 environment.<\/li>\n<li>Support for employment, the fairness of work and those who may become unemployed through what will be a difficult period.<\/li>\n<li>Transformation of working practices to maintain and enhance worker safety whilst enabling productivity in the Covid-19 working environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Like many other areas, the construction industry in Scotland has been hit hard by Covid-19 and is estimated to have contracted by 28.6% in June compared to the same month a year ago.<\/p>\n<h3>Feedback for a stronger recovery plan<\/h3>\n<p>Peter Reekie, chief executive of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scottishfuturestrust.org.uk\/\">Scottish Futures Trust<\/a>\u00a0and chair of the editorial group of the CLF, said: \u201cThis plan is designed to be a living, breathing document that grows and develops in response to industry input, so we would urge everyone to have their say in its evolution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe response so far has been extremely encouraging, but we would welcome more input to enable us to build a rounded picture of the sector and its requirements going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a unique opportunity for everyone involved in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/scotland-construction-sector-2\/77933\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Scottish construction sector<\/a> to join the conversation and shape our future in a post-Covid world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are particularly keen to hear from SMEs and their experiences and expectations for the long road ahead.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Therefore, I would urge all stakeholders with an interest in the construction and related industries in Scotland to feed in their thoughts to make the recovery plan even stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Scottish construction industry has been urged to have its say in the
