Have just written an article for Construction News on property vehicles. It's the news analysis, State property revolution looms large . The government wants to secure huge savings by managing its built estate more efficiently. Fantastically interesting - partly around the complex deals that already exist and will have to be worked through, partly around the new styles of partnership that could emerge. But where I was particularly grabbed was around the culture change that may need to take place on the supplier side. Can construction firms and contractors champion government goals around efficiency, can they battle civil service inertia on behalf of the executive? It's not what they normally do!
