Net Zero Is Creating a New Construction Skills Crisis

The construction industry has spent years talking about the need to build more sustainably. Net zero targets, carbon reduction, energy efficiency and greener materials have moved from being niche topics discussed by specialists to becoming major considerations on projects across the UK. Governments, developers and clients are increasingly demanding buildings that use less energy and produce fewer emissions, while the industry is under growing pressure to reduce the environmental impact of construction itself. On paper, the direction of travel seems clear. The UK needs greener buildings and a greener built environment. But there is a problem that receives considerably less attention: who is actually going to do the work?

Why MEP BIM Models Fail on the Jobsite: Key Solutions

A model can look finished in Revit and still stall a project on site. Ducts clash with beams that were never checked. Pipes carry no real slope. Hangers have no verified attachment point. This is the gap between a design-intent MEP BIM model and one that crews can actually build from.
