Scenario:
The construction industry wants to lobby the government on the importance of investment in building and infrastructure and how this would support economic recovery. The industry bodies, CIOB and QSi, have a particular interest in encouraging government to increase investment in affordable housing, public buildings and infrastructure.
Brief:
Prepare a report explaining how investment in building and infrastructure can be used to support economic growth. Discuss how the industry’s interaction with the wider economy can lead to an increase in economic growth and therefore at the current time help to sustain increases in GDP. Illustrate your argument by reference to development of the housing stock, public buildings, and infrastructure.
