Building Growth South West – Our Story
The Building Growth South West project was developed with three core activities in mind:
- Provide a comprehensive skills analysis programme to bring together SMEs and training providers to understand gaps in digital skill capabilities
- Deliver a solutions development programme to build and distribute tools and resources to help overcome competency gaps, make training more accessible, and build infrastructure to deliver more reactive, employment-led digital training for construction SME’s
- Develop a legacy programme to build pathways into other sectors where the digital skills resources and programmes and create impact.
The project is based in the South West and covers the Exeter and Plymouth area.
Over 50% of all housing built over the next 5 years will be delivered using digital methods of construction but only 17% of the supply chain have any digital capabilities related to modern methods of construction (Mark Farmer review 2017). It is now at the point where digital competency is undermining innovation, hampering productivity and inhibiting the uptake of training within construction”
