Published by Constructing Excellence and written by Project Five Consulting, this report examines the organisational resilience of the UK construction industry and its ability to respond to economic shocks, market disruption and long-term structural challenges.

Drawing on research from across the sector, the report highlights concerns around low profitability, skills shortages, supply chain vulnerabilities, low productivity and digital maturity. It also explores the lessons that can be learned from major industry disruptions, including the collapse of Carillion, and considers what is needed to build a more adaptable, productive and resilient construction sector.

The findings demonstrate that while many organisations recognise the importance of resilience and its role in long-term growth and competitiveness, there remains a significant gap in understanding and implementation across the industry.

As construction continues to face economic uncertainty, technological change and increasing demands from clients and government, this report provides valuable insights into how organisations can strengthen their resilience, embrace change and create a more sustainable future for the sector.
