Abstract

Comprises the report of an investigation into how to reduce the costs of delivery of civil engineering works for major infrastructure projects. Identifies a number of drivers for the higher cost of construction in the UK compared to other EU countries and supports the view that higher costs for UK infrastructure are mainly generated in the early project formulation and pre-construction phases.
