editor ’ s comment

This month ’ s issue has a very British feel about it as we speak to two companies at the more innovative end of the industry spectrum .

Offsite construction isn ’ t necessarily a new concept , but the optimisation of the trend is still an internal sector race ; one that is being explored more than most by knowledge transfer organisation , Buildoffsite .

Referred to as ‘ a coalition of the willing ’ the organisation has been formed to support a step-change increase in the use of offsite construction solutions , and Chairman , Richard Ogden is eager to push on with productivity , potentially leaving traditional methods behind .

Continuing the UK theme , Stewart Dalgarno , Director of Product Development of Stewart Milne Group explains the significance of North West Bicester , the UK ’ s first eco town , the first of its kind in the country with the potential for an additional 5,000 homes to join the 393 currently planned .

Elsewhere this month , Wes Simmons of Eque2 pinpoints six ways in which companies can optimise projects through effective communications , and we count down the top 10 railway station constructions .

Enjoy the issue !
