Our Mission
The UK construction sector is consistently ranked number one for insolvency, with more than 3,000 firms failing every year. Brought into public spotlight following the high-profile collapse or Carillion in 2018, this number is far greater than any other sector, and causes significant economic, social, and environmental harm.
In a world that aims to build back better, the Save Construction Initiative is an industry-driven taskforce influencing the stability of the UK construction industry.
