Construction clients have an important role to play in transforming the way the industry operates. How and when projects come to market significantly impacts the ability of the construction industry to provide innovative, whole life value-for-money solutions.

We were looking for a construction client that had been actively involved in delivering the construction programme and had developed strategies for encouraging and rewarding excellence. It went without saying that we expected a culture of collaboration and transparency to be at the heart of how the client operated and empowered the wider team.
