Transforming Infrastructure – comment from Jaimie Johnston, designer of platforms

The Infrastructure and Projects Authority has published today its Roadmap to 2030 – a clear and bold plan to drive a step change in infrastructure performance. Central to this plan is the adoption of a platforms approach to construction.

Jaimie Johnston MBE, board director at Bryden Wood, says: “The Roadmap to 2030 signals an imminent government mandate for a platforms approach to design and construction. It’s another hugely positive step towards transforming construction; to reduce carbon, increase efficiency, drive sustainability, improve quality and lower costs. This report is a clear and urgent call for the whole sector to modernise – and build a better future, for the benefit of all.”
