Securing the Supply Chain

The baseline costs for highly skilled specialist trades and raw materials remain significantly elevated. The recent demise of ISG – one of the largest commercial contractors in Europe – publicly highlighted the severe financial difficulties facing the UK construction supply chain.

This volatility is driving a noticeably risk-averse contractor market. Recent market surveys indicate that 55% of contractors expect prices to increase over the next six months and 67% anticipate a rise in overall labour costs. Choosing a financially unstable partner exposes your business to contractor insolvency, unfinished sites, voided warranties and severe legal complexities.
