Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Briefing by ICTU, HSA and CIF Representatives on the Reopening of the Construction Industry

Mr. Tom Parlon:

-----for collaboration. I am in a group called the Construction Industry Council, which includes engineers, chartered engineers, surveyors, architects and so on. We have come out with a statement to say we should attempt to agree costs collaboratively, because there is a legal industry that lives off disputes. That will be the big challenge. We hope the Office of Government Procurement will take a lead role. If it gives guidance this week as to how it sees these measures affecting public sector projects, it would set a positive example for private sector projects.
