Business Outlook

Pros

Salaries and benefits in the upper quad rile.

Cons

Top management are anal, process and procedure heavy, over complication of site procedures which is counterproductive. Yearly self assessment is quite ridiculous, a waste of time for all through the process, line management assessment is better.

Business Outlook

Pros

Some of the best construction projects in the UK, attempting to innovate in the construction sector with offsite construction (DfMA) and BIM (Digital Engineering), age is not a barrier to promotion, ability to influence industry practices and work across construction disciplines, strong emphasis on safety.

Cons

As a privately owned business rather than public it creates some unusual cultural and business policies as well as opportunities such as investment in an innovation in the face of a financial loss. There is a strong belief that it is able to drive and self deliver in all areas which is not always the case. Construction projects are often long timescale endeavours and many of the cultural values of delivery teams are rooted in practices from past projects making change difficult.
