  1. I don’t see any mention of skilled trade wages i.e. Bricklayers, Carpenters, Plasterers etc.!!

  2. Why is it bad for the economy that Construction Senior managers earnings are close to a MP’s?

    Industry leaders and the government should be concerned that nearly one in three people working in London’s construction sector were born in the EU, Why is this?

    This whole article seems to suggest its a bad thing that Construction workers are paid a decent pay and blaming Brexit AGAIN

    Ive just been quoted over £3K for the assessment route from CSCS Gold to Black card and was charged £15.00 for a 10 min call to CSCS, 8 of them was while on hold!!!!,
    And just spent over £2K renewing my tickets,,,,, just to able to get on a job
    Guess I am going to need that £50K a year

  3. This article is full of conflicting information where the same job role is mentioned more than once with different salaries.

  4. I’m so glad for the industry it’s about time that it starts to pay the right amount for its skilled workforce, this will go along way towards attracting people to work in construction, and show the true value that’s on offer to those who work within. For a long time agency’s have fought a cut throat game of undercutting wages to win the work with the skills being devalued. For construction to be the successful industry it wants to be a few things need to change, wages for tradesmen and managers being one of them, I would like to see the work operative removed for the industry it one of nothing and is degrading. Everyone has an important role to play within this professional industry and should be acknowledged respectfully for what they bring. More focus on building teams by appraisal to all of those who work on the project to show that they are valued and with that you support the pride that the industry has.
    The key thing is to develop the CIOB membership to take apprentice trades then provide a career path as so many trades go onto site management. thus showing it’s a worth while industry to be in and you will not be worried about shortage of the skilled trades that are in the UK but refuse to work in it because of the lack of teamwork spirt and appreciation.
