The project will develop a programme to accredit organisations in the British Standards Institution ISO18404 for Lean Construction. 

One organisation will receive the accreditation and a best practice case study will be developed to support other employers through the process.

After the project, one employer will become accredited in the ISO Lean Construction standard. Another will have undertaken training so they have the ability to do so. The guidance and training materials used to achieve this will be made available to industry so that other employers can go on the same journey and achieve accreditation.

The project will increase productivity by reducing the errors and defects that cause rework. Modules and e-learning will be developed and piloted that will deliver collaborative planning processes at design interface of projects. To make the project scalable, set of train the trainer resources will be produced.

Research will identify and recommend ways of measuring the rate errors and defects. This will help to set out an industry baseline to measure any future impact on productivity.

After the project, the course modules and teaching resources will be made freely available to industry and be eligible for short-duration grant funding. Guidance on how to implement the training with their partner modules for the other two 'Get it right' projects to deliver change on a project or in an organisation. Guidance will explain how to deliver training, when and with which roles.

The project will increase productivity by reducing the errors and defects that cause rework. A new L5 qualification will be developed and rolled out on Energy Efficiency in Retrofit Project Management. This will help to set out an industry baseline to measure any future impact on productivity.

After the project, the qualification will be published online and available either as a face to face module or by means of e-learning.

The project will increase productivity by reducing the errors and defects that cause rework. Modules and e-learning will be developed and piloted that will deliver a ‘right first time’ culture at leadership level of organisations. To make the project scalable, set of train the trainer resources will be produced.

The project will increase productivity by reducing the errors and defects that cause rework. Modules and e-learning will be developed and piloted that will deliver ‘right first time’ behaviours at operational level of organisations. To make the project scalable, set of train the trainer resources will be produced.

The project will build individual, organisational and industry knowledge of Fairness, Inclusion and Respect (FIR) in the workplace. This product can also be used as a catalyst to achieve cultural change. This will be achieved through the development of FIR training resources, upskilling of FIR ambassadors, managing a network of training and delivery workshops, building a sustainable funding model which will support the continuation of this project when the funding period ends.

The rail network is undergoing a significant upgrade investment in rail way lines which has increased the demands for skilled workers across the sector. The project will provide additional training for the existing workforce .

The purpose is to renew and / or gain a Sentinel proof of competency card to develop competent rail technical engineers. The project will deliver a blend of training initiatives, upskilling and enabling employees to undertake complex Engineering and Technical roles.

The aim is to improve employee retention and increase the pool of talent within the sector, along with enhancing employee skills and providing them with transferable qualifications.

The project will deliver a range of training and development interventions. The aim of this project is to deliver skills to construction firms working on Sherford Town which is being built outside Plymouth. This new town build is putting pressure on traditional house-building occupations in the area.

It requires specific skills due to the specialist building techniques being used on the site. These specialist skills include: English Bond Bricklaying, Traditional roofing Styles, Sash Windows, Dry Lining and Sealant operatives.

After the project, the local workforce will have been skilled to deliver the unique construction methods required to deliver a keystone regional project. Ex-military will have been given a pathway into construction and the opportunity to secure work.

The project supports the establishment of an employer-led training consortium that increases the capacity of ground working provision in the South (central) area of England. 

Eleven ground-working companies have created a consortium that will centrally coordinate the delivery of Civil Engineering Operation apprentices with additional plant training at a purpose built centre to make them fully work-ready as ground-workers when they finish their course. 

The project will develop volunteers from the workforce who are near the end of their careers, into trainers and assessors to deliver this additional training and upskill the existing workforce.

After the project, an employer training consortium in the South / Central area will have increased capacity to deliver training in plant operations and ground-working through newly created trainers and assessors, as well as a training infrastructure. this will continue to deliver skills for industry in this area after the funded period. The evidence base supporting a multi-skilled workforce will help others to adopt this way of working and add to industry knowledge in this area.

The project will further develop an employer toolkit which will result in the creation of an inclusive and diverse workforce. Leaders and Managers from main contractors and their supply chains will receive the training and development to embed FIR principles into their project delivery and workforce management strategies.
