The theme of this year’s Construction Conference will centre on best practice when it comes to giving – and getting – work. The Government’s comprehensive spending review in late October will indicate what money is likely to be available for investing in public sector construction projects in 2011 and the probable knock-on effect that will have on private sector spending.
