New Market Development and Bid Writing

The development of products and characterisation of materials for the construction industry is an area of growing interest. It is often the case that new products or materials being developed cannot be measured or assessed directly by current standards.

One way for firms to expand is to put their existing products into new markets.  Delivery partners at WMCCE have expertise in a wide variety of areas and may be able to identify new markers for your products.

Benefits

Lean Construction, Value and Risk Management

Lean Construction

Lean Construction is a production management-based approach to project delivery. Lean Construction extends from the objectives of a lean production system - maximize value and minimize waste - to specific techniques and applies them in a new project delivery process. The reliable release of work between specialists in design, supply and assembly assures value is delivered to the customer and waste is reduced. Lean Construction is particularly useful on complex, uncertain and quick projects.

KPIs

What does the programme cover?

Health and Safety

Construction is the UK’s largest, most diverse, and often most dangerous industry employing some 2.2 million workers across a complex range of crafts, businesses and contracted services. Health and safety management in the industry operates within a complex framework of legislation and best practice guidance to help ensure legal compliance, risk mitigation and liability management to protect construction workers and anyone who might be affected by construction and related activities.

Environmental Management

Environmental management is concerned with controlling the interactions and impacts which occur between human societies (e.g. industry, business, construction, etc) and the environment. In the UK, a developing framework of legislation, integrated standards, management tools and best practice all contribute to ensuring that increasingly high standards of compliance and mitigation are achieved across a broad spectrum of environmental protection issues including the air we breathe, the waste we create, the heritage we manage and the ecology of our planet.
