CIS Briefing 10/2015 US v UK: 10 trends that define us. CIS Briefing, October 2015. UK Edition

Abstract

In the October briefing article, we look at 10 trends that define the US construction industry and see how they compare with what’s happening in the UK. Making headlines is a new 44 page RIBA report that highlights the frustration clients feel when they are faced with choosing an architect for a new project – with the problem being the ones that are good for design aren’t necessarily the best ones for delivery. Amongst recently added documents are the Housing Foresight Series, which focus on housing in rural areas and BS EN ISO 14001:2015, Environmental management systems, which supersedes BS EN ISO 14001:2004.
