Introduction

Background

The New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB)

are working together on the creation of a plan for action to enable some of the challenges the LEP

faces to be addressed through local construction activity.

This research report creates a detailed ‘evidence base’ that should be utilised to inform decision

making and enable the creation and execution of that action plan.

CITB and New Anglia LEP have held a series of discussions highlighting the objectives that this research

should inform. This report represents the concluded research, taking into account key questions posed

by the LEP, the New Anglia Skills Board and Building Growth Group; addressing issues so that a

practical approach can be taken to realising the opportunities that activity in the construction sector

can generate in terms of developing skills and creating jobs.

Defining strategic objectives

Underpinning the action plan is the New Anglia LEP, which is a partnership for growth between the

private sector, local authorities, universities, further education and other stakeholders across Norfolk

and Suffolk.

The LEP’s Strategic Economic Plan (SEP) outlines how the New Anglia LEP will:

 Create the right conditions for business to thrive, establishing New Anglia as a centre of global

business excellence.

 Create 95,000 more jobs across all sectors feeding a more efficient local economy;

 Create a further 10,000 new businesses, with a focus on SMEs.

 Shape the local workforce to provide people with skills that businesses need to succeed and

that will provide them with job opportunities.

 Improve productivity, ensuring that by 2026 gross value add per job will equal the national

average.

 Create 117,000 new homes by 2026, a 32% increase in delivery.

To achieve the goal of increased high value jobs and increased productivity across businesses New

Anglia LEP recognises the need to improve the skills system across Norfolk and Suffolk. Activity has

taken place through the City Deal approach to bring stakeholders together, including local businesses,

training providers and local authorities to ensure a common approach was identified and an effective

strategy developed. This strategy (which includes the creation of a Skills Manifesto and Skills Board)

focuses on improving processes, utilising funding streams with improved effect and ensuring national

programmes are relevant for local stakeholders.

Understanding the challenges that exist in each sector has become key, hence the commission of this

study. Construction as a sector is significant and is still feeling the impact of the recession that saw a

considerable decline in its skills base and people leaving the sector. Construction projects of all sizes

create jobs that contribute to economic growth and stability and require a significantly skilled

workforce that needs to be supported and trained, mainly locally. In addition 95% of the construction

sector workforce is supplied by SME and micro employers throughout the New Anglia LEP area. The

sector is, therefore, dominated by micro businesses and there is a significant proportion of self-

employed labour in the sector.

New Anglia LEP

Construction Labour Research

February 2016

Traditionally employers in this segment of the market can be difficult to reach. However, the LEP has

made supporting small businesses a priority, which should create significant benefits for the

construction sector in this area.

CITB’s primary remit includes:

 Assisting and directing the further education offer to employers - improving the quality,

relevance and impact of the most significant providers of initial training and up-skilling.

 Sharing labour market intelligence - creating a ‘bespoke evidence base’ where required͘

 Improving employability with a focus on ensuring that young people aged 16-24 have the best

opportunity to get a job locally and are work ready.

 Supporting business-provider collaboration.

The subsequent action plan co-created by the New Anglia LEP and the CITB team will seek to ensure

that a continuing supply of appropriately qualified local people is available to meet the identified local

skills and employment outcomes. This approach will be supported and informed by the development

of a comprehensive evidence base that will provide information to support decision making and help

ensure that the vision and objectives for the New Anglia LEP and CITB are met.

Creating the evidence base

This evidence base will:



Analyse the demand pipeline in the New Anglia area

(by occupation, sector and

geographically) to understand what construction opportunities are likely to be created, the

skills challenges and how employment and training opportunities can be maximised. This

analysis will include the impact of any potential new nuclear new build at Sizewell in Suffolk.



Create additional analysis based on the development of a scenario that estimates an element

of ‘unknown’ construction projects that have a value less that £250,000 or will be repair &

maintenance focussed. The purpose of this is to ascertain additional elements of the demand

pipeline but it should be noted that this part of the analysis cannot be assessed at occupational

level.



Analyse the wider New Anglia demand pipeline to understand what additional projects will be

taking place that will potentially draw on the localised skills base.



What major employers exist in New Anglia that will employ the construction workforce and

deliver the forecasted projects.



Conduct analysis into current supply including the existing workforce, provision supplied by

local colleges, technical and higher level skills development and retention and how new

entrants feed into construction.



Understand the impact of the loss of skills from construction into other sectors post-recession

and the risks associated with an aging workforce.



Consider inter-regional supply mobility and how this might impact on construction skills and

employment in the area.



Evaluate existing construction training provision in the area, the extent to which this is fit for

purpose and the potential viability of a range of flexible training options in the future

incorporating innovation within the sector.

CITB will engage local stakeholders, as appropriate, during the development of this action plan and

evidence base.

Methodology

The methodology utilised covers a range of research approaches rather than relying on a singul

method, therefore enhancing the ability to produce a richer evidence base through a range of

approaches that are both quantitative and qualitative.

CITB offers a bespoke research service that builds on the detailed Labour Market Intelligence it

produces utilising its unique forecasting model known as the Labour Forecasting Tool (LFT). The team

works in close partnership with WLC Ltd (a spin out company from the University of Dundee) that

specialises in labour productivity, planning and control and building labour forecasting models. Please

refer to Appendix A for an explanation of the methodology followed to produce the labour demand

figures.

This research has been supported by the CITB research team that specialises in labour market analysis

relating to the supply of labour and identifying skills ‘pinch-points’͘ To date our work has been

significantly tested and extends to a portfolio of bespoke research skills commissions at project,

programme and regional level to create a compelling evidence base to support decision making.

The research has included:

 Demand analysis of construction projects projected over a five year period in the LEP area at

a detailed occupational level, utilising the Labour Forecasting Tool.

 Analysis of labour supply; including the existing workforce, new entrants

(including

apprentices) and labour mobility.

 Gap analysis to determine occupational pinch-points and decipher recommendations

regarding training interventions.

 A map of existing provision to support recommendations relating to capacity, capability and

collaboration on future curriculum offers.

This methodology has enabled a comprehensive research report to be produced that will identify

current and emerging skills needs and make recommendations on strategies and actions to ensure the

LEP has a construction workforce that is fit for purpose.

This will underpin the wider construction strategy work that the LEP is progressing with CITB and

support the LEP in meeting its strategic priorities in the production of detailed, specific labour market

intelligence for construction. The information it will generate will enable stakeholders to hold effective

conversations and work across the LEP and with other agencies, employers and providers to ensure

maximum employment and training opportunities for local residents.

The Labour Market Intelligence (LMI) and its recommendations will provide the evidence base to

enable the New Anglia LEP to ensure that there are adequate and effective programmes of skills

development and employment interventions that meet demand during the construction phase of key

projects.

A view of demand

Introduction

This section provides an evidence base of the labour demand that construction investment will create

across the LEP over the next five years. Please refer to Appendix A for an explanation of the

methodology followed to produce the labour demand figures. First, in Section 3.2, we analyse the

demand based solely on the data contained on the Glenigan database. In Section 3.3, we add to the

Glenigan data our estimates of the total value of new build projects that is not included in Glenigan

and the value of repair and maintenance projects. We have input this data to our Labour Forecasting

Tool¹ (LFT) to analyse the skills requirements in each of 28 occupations listed in Appendix B. The results

are also presented at a trade, craft and professional level that will enable the LEP to take a

comprehensive view of the demand generated by planned projects.

This study includes a detailed analysis of the projects taking place wholly within the counties of Norfolk

and Suffolk as well as the relevant portions of frameworks taking place within the area. A detailed

picture of the labour demand for the New Anglia LEP area and for the two areas of Norfolk and Suffolk

are presented in Appendix E and Appendix F.

Pipeline analysis

Our analysis of the demand in the area initially considers the demand from the known pipeline of

work. This demand is principally generated by those projects included within the Glenigan database

although it is supplemented with additional knowledge of the New nglia area’s construction output.

3.2.1.

Glenigan pipeline

Our initial analysis of the pipeline of construction work taking place in New Anglia is based on the

projects contained in the Glenigan database. This contains details of the planning applications from

local authorities. Glenigan supplements this with additional project-specific data. The Glenigan

database does not identify every single project in an area as some small projects (typically but not

exclusively those less than £250,000 in value) and those which do not require a planning application

(including repair and maintenance) are not included. An initial assessment of the projects in the

database ensured that only projects which had a) a defined value and b) defined start and end dates

were considered in the analysis. Also excluded were two consultancy projects² and a number of

projects (16 in total) which were clearly identified as duplicates. A full set of the projects which were

omitted from the analysis are shown in Appendix D. Values given in the Glenigan database are the

total value of construction and engineering works. The scope of this study is limited to the

construction sector and where appropriate an estimate of the engineering value has been made and

removed from the total value to provide what we have termed the construction value.

Included in the Glenigan pipeline are two projects related to the Sizewell C nuclear new build site.

These are large, one off projects, which warrant special consideration in understanding the

construction labour market in the LEP area. The labour demand figures and timeframe of the Sizewell

C project used in the report were provided by the Nuclear Energy Skills Alliance (NESA).

¹ A methodological note on the LFT is provided in Appendix A

² The LFT calculates the demand for professional occupations from a project’s construction value͘ To include consultancy

projects separately would result in double counting

The Mean Value Theorem⁴ was applied to the remainder of the pipeline for Norfolk and Suffolk

separately, excluding the two Sizewell C projects in Table 1, to identify the significant projects in the

LEP. This process identified 61 significant projects in Norfolk and 74 in Suffolk, in both cases accounting

for over 70% of the construction spend in each respective county. This allowed a detailed analysis of

a large proportion of all the projects and a comprehensive consideration of the project types to which

they were assigned.

Table 2 shows the number of significant projects within each county and the percentage of spend per

area arising from the significant projects. The total spend per area can also be seen. The construction

spend shown in this table takes account of any adjustments for engineering works and any incomplete,

duplicate or consultancy projects. Values are shown in 2015 prices as this was provided in the Glenigan

database.

Some of the projects within the Glenigan database have elements that cover more than one area.

Elements of the UK-wide Social Infrastructure Development (SID) framework are taking place within

the New Anglia LEP. These were estimated to be proportional to the population of the Norfolk and

Suffolk counties relative to the UK’s total population͘ maintenance and works framework taking

place in Norfolk and the surrounding counties was broken down proportionally to each county’s

population and the appropriate elements were used for the analysis in Norfolk and Suffolk. A

construction framework comprising works in the East of England region was broken down into the

³ Glenigan lists two separate contracts for Sizewell C

⁴ The Mean Value Theorem states that most information is obtained for least effort simply by considering only those data

whose annual construction spend is higher than the mean. This approach is used to identify the few significant values that

account for the largest amount of expenditure.

⁵ The values in this table are the values from the Glenigan database to which the construction element percentage has

been applied and thus reflect the adjusted values of the infrastructure projects to distinguish between construction and

engineering construction.

counties of East of England in proportion to their population and the appropriate elements for Norfolk

and Suffolk were used in the analysis.

The labour demand for all of the projects in the Glenigan database was produced using the Labour

Forecasting Tool. The following input data was used to produce the forecasts.

 The value of each project in the pipeline provided in the Glenigan database, for all projects

excluding infrastructure.

 As noted previously for infrastructure projects, the value used was a percentage of the value

in the Glenigan database, representing the construction portion of the value, excluding

engineering construction. The percentages applied can be seen in Table 3. The construction

proportions have been validated in work we have undertaken for other clients.

 Start and end dates of each project provided in the Glenigan database.

 For the significant projects, project descriptions in the database enabled us to apply the most

appropriate project type (each type is driven by a different underlying model) to each forecast

that was run through the LFT. Cases where a project consisted of more than one type were

broken down into multiple forecasts that were assigned specific project types to more closely

predict the labour demand. This took account of the different types of work within a single

project, e.g. mixed developments comprising housing, commercial and industrial.

 For the rest of the projects, the default project type allocation as defined in the Glenigan

database was applied, except for the infrastructure projects which were individually allocated

to the most appropriate type from the available LFT infrastructure types.

Appendix C provides a full breakdown of the significant projects and their construction values. The

significant projects’ locations can be seen in Figure 1. The radius of the markers are in proportion to

the value of the project.

Figure 1: The significant projects in Glenigan used in this analysis

Table 4 lists the top 20 significant projects, by value, taking place within the LEP in the period 2015-

2019.

The data relating to all of the projects has been stored in the version of the LFT for which the LEP will

have a licence. All the assumptions regarding the input parameters - including project duration and

values - can be updated by the LEP as and when more specific information becomes available. The

forecasts have been saved within the LFT for access by the LEP and any changes to scope (including

updates to the construction value) can readily be made.

3.2.2.

Breakdown of spend by project type

This section provides an overview of the development spend (£m - 2015 values) in the LEP broken

down by project type based on the projects included in the Glenigan database.

Table 5 shows the construction spend for each sector. It is clear that housing accounts for some 40%

of the construction spend. Infrastructure accounts for around a third of the spend and is particularly

driven by offshore wind in Norfolk which accounts for more than 60% of the infrastructure spend in

the New Anglia LEP, as can be seen in Table 6. Public non-housing projects account for almost 15% of

the spend.

Producing estimates of labour demand

Based on the analysis of the Glenigan database this section presents the labour demand arising within

the LEP. Additional detail is shown in Appendix E.

The data in the Glenigan database presents a picture of the forthcoming projects. As the time horizon

extends there is less clarity on what is planned. For instance, in some cases a small number of projects

are due to complete in the 2020s. However, the small workload shown by the demand profile is highly

unlikely to reflect the total amount of work that will take place at that time. It is almost certain that

there will be additional projects that come on stream at that time that have not yet been considered.

The CSN forecasts, which consider the availability of labour, look forward five years. For consistency

we have presented the demand forecasts for the five year period 2015-19 used in the CSN model.

Labour demand figures have been rounded to the nearest 50. Figure 2 shows the construction labour

demand arising from the Glenigan data for the period 2015-2019 in the LEP.

It should be noted that the workforce will only peak for a relatively short period of time. The ramp up

and ramp down to that peak may be quite large. We have therefore presented the average workforce

during the year of the peak.

Table 7 shows the labour demand arising from the entire pipeline of projects, as well as the portion of

this demand within the 2015-2019 period. It also shows the peak workforce requirement of around

39,000 people occurring in 2016. As noted above the drop off, and indeed the ramp up, of projects

from an analysis of a pipeline is somewhat artificial. An approach to overcome this has been applied

to the analysis. The approach uses the assumption that the future workforce is approximately equal

to the peak. The peak has, therefore, been projected forward and backcast⁶ to create a more likely

scenario of the ongoing workforce. The growth rate is based on the CSN employment forecast for the

whole East of England region. The demand with an employment growth rate included is shown in

Figure 2. The shaded area shows the likely total labour demand arising from as yet undefined projects.

For the peak year we have shown a detailed breakdown by each of the 28 occupational groups for

which the forecast has been produced. These are shown in Figure 3. The projections of labour demand

for the trades occupations for the peak year of 2016 are as follows.

 The trade occupation displaying the highest demand is “wood trades and interior fit-out”

peaking at 4,200 people;



“general labourers” follow with 2,400 people;



“plumbing and heating, ventilation and air conditioning trades” rank third with 2,300 people;



“electrical trades and installation” come next, with around 2,250 people demanded.

 All other trades display a demand of less than 2,000 people each.

⁶ This takes account of the fact that the 2015 Glenigan figures which are tailing off and are past their peak than those in

2016.

Breakdown of labour demand by project type

The labour demand has been calculated from the spend in each project type. In this section we have

considered the total labour demand. The peak workforce in 2016 is around 39,000. Figure 4 shows the

breakdown of labour demand by project type. For the peak year (2016) it can be seen that more than

half of the labour is generated by housing. This is due to the nature of housing work, which tends to

be more labour intensive than other types. Towards the end of the five year period there is a ramp-

up in infrastructure and particularly energy. This is driven primarily by offshore wind projects in

Norfolk.

Figure 4: Construction labour demand arising by sector and sub-sector

Sizewell C nuclear power station

The Sizewell C Nuclear New Build plant-related projects have been estimated at a total construction

value of £6bn (based on a Glenigan total project value of £12bn, which includes an engineering

construction element estimated from previous work to be 50% of the total value). The labour demand

arising from this development will account for a large additional demand in the local authorities in

proximity to Suffolk, including Norfolk and other neighbouring counties. For the purposes of this

analysis we have consulted directly with EDFE, but have relied on data that is in the public domain.

The data we have used has not been confirmed by EDFE. Stage 2 of the EDFE consultation is yet to

start and this analysis should be updated in collaboration with EDFE once that process has

commenced. The current estimated timescale for the main civils works of Sizewell C is 2021-2028^7.

For the purposes of the demand arising from the Sizewell C work we have used the labour demand

figures produced by the Nuclear Energy Skills Alliance (NESA). The NESA analysis shows a peak

workforce of almost 4,200 construction people in 2024 for Sizewell C. This analysis is broken down by

occupation and these have been mapped to the relevant 28 occupational groups used by CITB. It

should be noted that this is an annual average construction workforce demand. It does not include

the operations or engineering construction workforce. In their consultation document, EDFE forecast

a total monthly peak workforce of 5,600 people ⁸. From the data available to us, a construction

workforce of 4,200 is not inconsistent with a total workforce of 5,600.

We have aggregated the monthly demand across the New Anglia LEP into annual figures and

superimposed the demand arising from Sizewell C. For clarity we have presented the forecasts in this

section over a 14-year period to coincide with the predicted construction programme of Sizewell. This

is shown in Figure 5 with a continued employment rate projected at 2015-19 levels. At peak the

Sizewell work accounts for a workload equal to roughly 9.3% of the demand arising from the Glenigan

pipeline in the New Anglia LEP. Table 8 shows the impact of Sizewell C as a proportion of the peak

workforce from the projects in Glenigan in the Norfolk and Suffolk. This has been projected forward

assuming that the growth rate from 2015-19 continues into the next decade at the same rate. It shows

that the Sizewell C workforce accounts for up to around 9.3% of the workforce working on the

Glenigan pipeline of projects in the New Anglia LEP area.

Assessing the wider demand within New Anglia

3.5.1. Methodology and assumptions

The Glenigan database has two characteristics that prevent the results from providing the entire

labour demand profile for the area:

 It does not record all smaller projects (roughly those of less than £250,000 value).

 It records mainly new build projects and with only a small amount of repair and maintenance

works included.

These two issues could have an effect on the calculated labour demand and produce lower figures

than expected. We have developed a methodology to provide a complete picture of the labour

demand. The following steps are undertaken to provide an estimate of the total labour demand across

a region.

1. Only the new build projects arising from the Glenigan database were run through the LFT,

excluding any repair and maintenance work.

2. To estimate the full amount of new build work not captured in Glenigan we compared the

total Glenigan new build spend in the region (East of England) with the output estimates for

the CSN for the peak year, 2016. This allowed us to estimate the new build spend for the entire

region not included in the Glenigan database from which we could then factor the

corresponding output for the New Anglia LEP area.

New Anglia LEP

Construction Labour Research

February 2016

3. The non-Glenigan new build spend calculated in the previous step was assigned to different

sectors, reflecting the mix of works recorded in Glenigan for New Anglia. A separate item was

created for each construction sector (e.g. general infrastructure, housing) and assigned a

value proportional to each sector’s contribution to the pipeline spend in Glenigan͘

4. To calculate the R&M elements of work taking place within the LEP, the CSN output data was

used to calculate the ratio of R&M to new build work in the East of England. We assumed this

ratio to be constant throughout the region.

5. The LFT was used to calculate the labour demand profile based on the values of different types

of work estimated above.

6. Labour demand for 2016 was then projected forward and backcast as required throughout

the period analysed. For this process we used the construction employment growth factors

applied previously to the known projects.

3.5.2. Updated labour demand calculations and projections

Table 7 shows the labour demand arising from the entire pipeline of projects including the allowance

we made for R&M amounting to 96,350 people in 2016, the peak year of Glenigan data, including the

allowance made for R&M. The demand is shown in Figure 6. The total labour demand rises from

93,250 people in 2015 to a peak of 98,700 people in 2019.

Summary of demand

The analysis of the labour demand arising from the development spend in the New Anglia LEP peaks

at around 39,000 people in 2016. The tail off beyond this point is not likely to represent an actual drop

off in construction activity but reflects projects that have not yet been identified. It should also be

noted that these figures only represent the developments that are included in Glenigan, which will

not necessarily capture all of the construction activity. To project forward this cliff edge in construction

activity we have produced an indication of how construction activity in the region (East of England) as

a whole is forecast to change over the next five years. This shows a constantly increasing construction

spend and activity rising to almost 40,000 by 2019. The labour demand is split in roughly equal

proportions between Norfolk and Suffolk.

In the short-term, construction activity in the area is dominated by housing, with public non-

residential and infrastructure activity also comprising significant parts of the total spend, the latter

mostly owing to offshore wind installations in Norfolk. The largest occupational group is wood trades

and interior fit out, with a large labour demand arising from non-manual occupations.

The analysis was extended to include the work planned for Sizewell C Nuclear New Build, commencing

in 2021. The demand figures from NESA were used for the analysis and superimposed on the demand

in the East of England region, assuming that for the years beyond 2019, a steady yearly increase of

1.4% will be observed in the employment, equal to the average yearly increase for the period 2015-

2019 predicted by the CSN. It shows that across the two counties the peak demand at Sizewell

accounts for up to almost 10% of the rest of the workload. Should there be any changes in timescales

to the works then the increased demand will be delayed.

By supplementing the Glenigan pipeline with the data provided by the projections of non-Glenigan

new build and R&M work, we were able to produce a labour demand analysis that represented the

wider construction work taking place within the New Anglia LEP area in the period 2015-2019

incorporating the projected growth of the sector. According to these projections, the total labour

demand will rise to a number of around 98,700 people in 2019.

A picture of supply

When looking at the supply of workers there are two main elements to consider: the size of the current

workforce and the existing amount of training.

The first element of this section takes a view on the current employment levels for the New Anglia

LEP, how this is made up from the local authorities of Norfolk and Suffolk, and then how this relates

to overall employment across the East of England Region͘ Data from CITB’s Construction Skills Network

is used along with official Government sources.

For the second section, while training occurs at Further Education (FE) and Higher Education (HE)

levels, the focus will be on FE that takes place in the New Anglia LEP and wider East of England Region.

FE tends to be sourced and delivered in a closer proximity to home and workplace, whereas the length

of study time and specialisms for Universities for HE can give greater degrees of mobility.

The demand forecasts can then be compared against employment, training and workforce mobility to

give an indication of possible gaps and/or occupational pinch points.

Main points

 Current construction workforce estimates for the East of England are just over 247,000

workers.

 New nglia LEP accounts for 24% of the East’s current construction employment (approx͘

59,500 workers).

 Within the LEP construction employment is fairly evenly spread between the counties of

Norfolk and Suffolk (25,700 in Norfolk and 23,400 in Suffolk).

 Construction businesses are also fairly evenly split between Norfolk and Suffolk with 3,885 in

Norfolk and 3,485 in Suffolk, and the size profile of these employers is the same across both

counties with the overwhelming majority (over 93%) being micro sized companies (0-9

employees) in both.

 There were just under 5,600 Construction and Building Services Engineering learning aims

delivered in the LEP area, accounting for 6.5% of the total number of learning aims in

2012/13⁹.

 Twenty-eight training providers delivered construction relevant FE courses within the LEP

area, with the six main providers delivering almost two-thirds (64%) of all FE Construction and

Building Services Engineering learning.

⁹ Note: a leaner can have multiple learning aims depending upon the nature of the course learning.

Existing workforce

Construction employment across the UK suffered significant declines during the recent recession, and

the East was no exception as shown in Figure 7 below. Employment in the region increased steadily

from just under 213,000 in 2002 to over 262,000 2008. The recession saw a steep fall in this figure to

a low of 226,600 workers two years later in 2010 before beginning to recover. By 2014 the number of

construction workers in the region had climbed to over 242,250, and the current CSN forecast is for

continued employment growth to just over 256,000 in 2019, although this will still be below its 2008

peak.

An analysis of the Annual Population Survey¹⁰ gives an indication of the share of Eastern England’s

construction workforce located in the LEP. The latest data shows that the LEP area accounts for 24%

of regional construction employment, Table 11 below shows what this means for total employment

at occupational and industry level in the LEP region.

Sub-regional analysis shows that in the New Anglia LEP area the construction workforce is more or

less evenly split between Norfolk and Suffolk (52% and 48% respectively), although there is

considerable difference in the levels of self-employment between Norfolk and Suffolk with over half

New Anglia LEP

Construction Labour Research

February 2016

the construction workforce in Norfolk being self-employed (51%) while just over one-third (35%) of

the Suffolk workforce is self-employed.

Employer Structure

Analysis of construction firms reveals that just under a quarter (23%) of all construction firms within

Eastern England are located in the LEP area. As with employment, the number of employers are fairly

evenly split between Norfolk and Suffolk (53% and 47% respectively).

Overall the pattern of firm size is similar in each county, as shown in Figure 8, with just over 93% of

firms being micro (employing fewer than 10 people). There are five large employers (with more than

250 employees) in the New Anglia LEP area, although the numbers are too small to identify them any

further than this.

Figure 8: Construction firms by size, 2014 (Source: ONS/NOMIS)

Training provision

In terms of delivering skills to the construction workforce, further education providers play a

significant role in equipping people with vocational skills for all sectors of UK business, and for

construction in particular.

Data available at local authority level produced by the Skills Funding Agency¹¹ shows that in Further

Education learner volumes, Norfolk and Suffolk accounted for just under 69,840 learners which

represents 25% of total provision in the East of England (all learners, all sectors).

and Local Authority (2005/06 to 2013/14) - Learner Volumes.

New Anglia LEP

Construction Labour Research

February 2016

Although the number of learners can be identified, it is more difficult to identify training as this is

reported by learning aims, and not the number of learners; ‘learners’ generally refers to the number

of individuals who are funded in each year, while the term ‘learning aims’ refers to the number of

discreet pieces of learning that are funded. It is possible for an individual to complete multiple learning

aims in each year, with each aim having some level of funding against it.

There are two main categories of learning aims relevant to the Construction Sector, Construction and

Building Services Engineering; together they accounted for almost 5,600 learning aims delivered in the

LEP area (Norfolk 2,980 and 6%; Suffolk 2,600 and 7%)¹². This represents just over 6.5% of the total

number of learning aims across all sectors, and gives an indication of how construction training fits

within the overall FE provision which is lower than the 8% share that construction has for total

employment in the New Anglia LEP area.

Data from the Skills Funding Agency¹³ identified 28 training providers delivering FE and skills

Construction and Building Services Engineering learning at all levels across the LEP area, with the six

main providers being responsible for almost two-thirds of construction training, these are:

 Peopleplus (was A4E LTD)

 City College, Norwich

 West Suffolk College

 The College of West Anglia

 Lowestoft College

 National Construction College, CITB

Six further providers (Easton and Otley College, Suffolk New College, Great Yarmouth College, Norfolk

Training Services Ltd, JTL, and Norfolk County Council) deliver training volumes of around 100 - 400

aims per year along with a wider number that deliver learning aim volumes of less than 50 aims per

year. Although not identified in the figures, there will also be providers delivering training at very low

volumes such as less than 10 learning aims per year.

Note the training will cover full and part time further education, apprenticeships and on-site

assessment for qualifications such as National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) and QCF Diplomas and

Certificates.

Data available from the Skills Funding Agency do not allow identification of course level detail,

however the websites of the main training providers (links in Appendix G) indicate that there is a range

of courses on offer that would relate to the main occupations, while also covering some of the

technical and higher level skills that would be relevant to work currently underway in the LEP and

future planned projects.

Mobility of the workforce

The construction workforce is highly mobile, with workers tending to move from project to project

which may mean working in other counties or regions (or even countries) from where they usually

live. To measure the extent of this movement of workers, CITB commissioned research (Workforce

Mobility and Skills in the UK Construction Sector 2015) to provide a reliable evidence base of the

nature of the construction workforce in the UK concerning its qualification levels and the extent of

occupational and geographic mobility to offer insight into where skills gaps might emerge as a result

of occupational/geographic movement. The research provides data at a regional level so that future

training interventions and the supply of job opportunities for local people can be understood.

Main points

 More than a quarter of East of England construction workers have worked in the construction

industry for over 20 years (27%) and a total of more than half have worked in the industry for

at least 10 years (52%).

 At the time of the research just over half of all construction workers in the East of England

were working in the same region/nation in which they were living in when they started their

construction career (55%).

 The average (mean) distance from workers’ current residence (taking into account temporary

residences) to their current site was 27 miles (22 miles is the UK average).

 Three quarters of all East of England construction workers are confident that when they finish

their current job their next job will allow them to travel to work from their permanent home

on a daily basis (76%).

 Overall two-fifths of all construction workers have only worked on one project type (40%).

 Amongst construction workers under the age of 60 in the East of England, well over a third

(38%) believe they will definitely want to be working in the construction sector in five years’

time, a further third (33%) believe it is very likely they will, and 10% believe it is quite likely

they will. In total over four-fifths of workers in the region aged under 60 believe that it is likely

they will still be working in construction in five years’ time͘

Work history

More than a quarter of East of England construction workers have worked in the construction industry

for over 20 years (27%) and a total of more than half have worked in the industry for at least 10 years

(52%).

The most likely reason for employees working in the East of England region is because their employers

sent them there (50% of all workers), this compares to just 36% for the UK as a whole, suggesting a

greater reliance on workers from other regions than may be typical in other parts of the UK. Just over

two-fifths (43%) of workers in the East state that they work in the region because they grew up there,

this compares to 55% across the whole of the UK.

In terms of the regions/nations in which workers’ current employer operates, around two-thirds (67%)

of workers in the East of England reported that their employer operated within the region they were

currently working in (the second lowest figure in the UK after the South East at 65%), while 27%

operated in London, 23% in the South East and 16% in the East Midlands, as shown in Appendix H.

These figures suggest the workforce in the East is more transitory that might be expected in other

regions.

New Anglia LEP

Construction Labour Research

February 2016

Worker origins

Workers were asked which region/nation they were living in just before they got their first job in

construction in the UK. Overall just over half of all construction workers in the East of England were

working in the same region/nation in which they were living in when they started their construction

career (55%) the same as for the South East and slightly higher than London at 50%. Workers currently

based in the East of England, therefore, are among the least likely to have remained in the same

region/nation in which they were based for their first construction job.

In addition, only half of the construction workers in the East of England (50%) have remained in the

same region/nation as they did their first qualification/training in. This is the lowest proportion of all

the regions/nations in the UK, meaning that workers in the East are the most mobile. Among other

regions/nations, the figure ranges from 55% of workers in the South East remaining in the area where

they took their first qualification to 96% in Northern Ireland.

Travel to site

Almost two-thirds (63%) of construction workers in the East of England have their current residence

in the region, with 37% travelling into the region for work from another region/nation in which their

current residence is based. Only the South East had a higher figure for inward travel to work with 42%

of workers living outside the region. At the time of the survey 12% of construction workers in the East

had travelled into the region from the East Midlands, and a further 12% had travelled in from London.

Workers in the East were asked to indicate the furthest distance they have worked from their

permanent or current home in the last 12 months. Figure 9 shows that 1 in 8 construction workers

have worked no more than 20 miles away (12%) and a further third have worked between 21 and 50

miles away (34%). This leaves more than half that have worked more than 50 miles away from their

permanent home (52%), with more than a quarter that have worked between 51 and 100 miles away

(29%). Just under a quarter of construction workers in the East that have worked more than 100 miles

away (23%) which is about average for the UK.

Site duration and change

In order to get a measure of workplace stability, workers were asked to indicate how long in total they

expect to work at that specific site during this phase.

Three in ten construction workers in the East of England (30%) do not expect to work on that site for

more than a month, including 7% that only expect to be there for about a week or less. About 4 in 10

anticipated being on site for more than a month, but less than a year (39%), while one in eight expects

to stay on that site for a year or longer (13%). In just under 1 in 5 cases (18%) workers did not know

how much longer they could expect to be on site, indicating that a significant minority of temporary

workers are living with a certain amount of uncertainty and insecurity.

Three quarters of all construction workers in the East of England are confident that when they finish

this job they will get a job that allows them to travel from their permanent home to work on a daily

basis (70%).

Sub-sector and sector mobility

All workers were asked which of six types of construction work (New Housing, Housing Repair and

Maintenance, Commercial, Private Industrial, Public Non-Housing, or Infrastructure) they have spent

periods of at least three months at a time working in (Table 12).

Overall two fifths of all construction workers have only worked on one project type (40%), compared

with a fifth in 2012 (19%), which again suggests a pattern of increased stability in the sector.

Leaving the sector

In order to assess the potential outflow from the sector in the next five years (based on workers’

preferences), all workers were asked how likely it is that in 5 years’ time they will still want to be

working in construction. Excluding those aged 60 and over (as those over 60 may be assumed to be

considering retirement in the next five years): 38% believe they will definitely want to be working in

the construction sector, 33% believe it is very likely they will want to be working in the construction

sector and 10% believe it is quite likely they will want to be working in the construction sector, a total

of 81%. Only 5% think that they will not want to be working in the construction sector in five years’

time which is less than in 2012 (18%).

Overall the findings from the Mobility survey indicate that the East of England has one of the most

mobile construction workforces in the UK. There is evidence of a high degree of movement between

neighbouring regions, (specifically nearly one-quarter of the workforce is from either the East

Midlands or London).

New Anglia LEP

Construction Labour Research

February 2016

Demand against supply

Main points

Before looking at demand against supply, it should be noted that the Glenigan dataset used to produce

the demand view is based on projects that are picked up at various stages of the planning process. As

such there will be projects in the pipeline that may not go ahead or be subject to delay; additionally

there will be newer projects that will be added to the list. In this respect the view is essentially a

snapshot of what potential work could look like.

When looking forward, there will be less visibility on future projects, especially for work that requires

shorter planning times. Research carried out by CITB on behalf of UKCG (Figure 10, unpublished)

showed that the lead time from planning to work starting on site varied by the type of work and value.

Large scale infrastructure and commercial projects took the longest time whereas lower value work

in general along with work in the industrial sector was able to get on site quickest.

Figure 10: Average number of weeks from planning to work on site, UK 2010-2013 (Source: UKCG/Glenigan)

There will also be work carried out that does not require planning permission, for example household

repair and maintenance (R&M) work, and this can account for a significant share of work in the

construction sector. Current estimates for R&M work in the East of England indicate that it accounts

for 48% of yearly construction output in the region¹⁴ well above the UK average of 39%.

Also in looking at demand against supply, while different types of projects can be categorised by their

type of build, such as housing, commercial and industrial, the workforce skills required are less easy

to categorise in the same way as some occupations will be able to apply their skills across a number

of different sectors. For example, evidence from the 2015 Mobility research¹⁵ shows that occupations

such as plasterers and banksmen/bankspersons are most likely to have only worked on one project

¹⁴ CITB(2015) Construction Skills Network - East of England

¹⁵ CITB(2015) Workforce Mobility and Skills in the UK Construction Sector - East of England

New Anglia LEP

Construction Labour Research

February 2016

type, while bricklayers, site managers, dryliners, and scaffolders are more likely to have worked on a

wide range of building projects.

In general, as discussed in the Mobility section, construction workers in the East of England are

amongst the most mobile in the country, which suggests that the supply of workers for future projects

will be supplemented by workers from outside the area.

Gap Analysis

At peak activity which is forecast to occur in August 2016, there would be an estimated monthly

demand of over 47,500 workers; for the whole of 2016 and 2017 there would be average monthly

demands of 39,000 workers and 21,150 workers respectively. As Table 13 shows, peak demand and

then the average yearly demand figures based on the work identified would account for a significant

share of the current workforce employed within the LEP.

The demand details covered in Section 3 show that work across the LEP will require involvement from

the full range of construction occupations across the timeline. Analysis of the occupational groups

used in the CSN, which can be compared to estimates of current employment allows examination of

both yearly demand and peak demand (as highlighted in Table 14).

This analysis shows that there are some possible disparities where demand either outstrips or matches

the current employment estimates for a number of occupations. These are:

New Anglia LEP

Construction Labour Research

February 2016

 Non-construction operatives.¹⁶

 Civil engineering operatives not elsewhere classified (nec).¹⁷

 Specialist building operatives nec.¹⁸

 Surveyors.

 Glaziers.

 Roofers.

 Labourers nec.

 Plant operatives.

For each of these occupations, peak demand exceeds current employment and average employment

in 2015 and 2016 is more than 20 percentage points higher than the average for all occupations for

either or both years.

Of these occupations the main risks look to be around the future supply of:

 Non-construction operatives.

 Civil engineering operative not elsewhere classified.

 Specialist building operatives not elsewhere classified.

All of these will all be in high demand, based on both their share of forecasted employment, and the

absolute numbers required.

It is interesting to note that the analysis forecasts potential shortfalls across a wide range of

occupations based on their skillsets, qualification levels and those traditionally working across other

sectors. The following discussion categorises the occupations between those which are construction

specific and those which also work in other sectors.

5.2.1.

Construction specific occupations

The category of Civil engineering operatives nec covers occupations that include road construction,

rail construction and maintenance, and quarry workers. Within these areas they cover higher

qualification occupations up to degree level, as such there can be at least three years of education

and training before becoming qualified. It is, therefore, highly likely that the short-term demand

increase identified would require workers to be drawn into the LEP area.

While the skill requirement for Labourers nec (which are all elementary construction occupations)

may not be as high as trades such as carpentry, roofing and the like, some may see it as a way of

gaining construction experience. The risk here is the number required and the amount and availability

of training that would be needed for them to work safely on construction sites, however this is likely

to be focused on the number of candidates from within the LEP area that are willing to take up

labouring roles.

¹⁶ General occupation title that covers: Metal making and treating process operatives, Process operatives nec*, Metal

working machine operatives, Water and sewerage plant operatives, Assemblers (vehicles and metal goods), Routine

inspectors and testers, Assemblers and routine operatives nec, Elementary security occupations, Cleaners and domestics,

Street cleaners, Gardeners and landscape gardeners, Caretakers, Security guards and related occupations, Protective

service associate professionals

Quarry workers and related operatives

¹⁸ General occupation title that covers: Construction operatives nec, Construction and building trades nec Industrial

New Anglia LEP

Construction Labour Research

February 2016

The demand for Surveyors is certainly linked to an increasing demand for higher level skills that sits

across construction in general. As well as a degree there is a requirement for two to three years of

further training to become a fully qualified surveyor, so the only way that demand in this occupation

can be met is by recruiting workers from outside the region. Given their integral nature to every part

of the construction process, especially at the commencement of construction activities, supply of

skilled workers in this occupation will need consideration.

Both Glaziers and Roofers account for relatively few workers. While the overall demand in these

occupations is relatively small when compared to other trades, in comparison to base employment it

represents a significant recruitment risk. In addition, owing to their niche nature, training

opportunities for these occupations tend to be lower than other trades.

Specialist building operatives nec covers a range of occupations that have specialised and niche skills

predominately used for repair and refurbishment, this type of work tends to be more labour intensive

and consequently they are in high demand throughout the forecast period. Dependent upon the type

of specialism required the current training provision within the LEP may be able to train some of the

demand, but there may be a necessity to export from other regions.

5.2.2.

Cross-sector occupations

As skills in these occupations can be used in other sectors, the degree to which demand can be met

will be influenced by factors other than construction demand.

Non-construction operatives tend to provide support roles and do not rely on construction specific

skills, therefore employment in this group can be subject to general market conditions. Although

there is a significant increase in percentage terms, the impact would need to be examined in more

detail against wider workforce/job projections.

Plant Operatives move between construction and other sectors such as manufacturing and

wholesale/distribution. Appendix G suggests that there is only one sizable provider of plant training

in the region, so there may need to be some reliance on recruitment from outside the region.

In regards to how demand fits with existing training provision, Appendix G highlights that the five main

colleges across the LEP cover a wide range of construction training and qualifications. However it

should be noted that although construction work will generate a training demand, other factors such

as the requirement to have a qualification in relation to a competence card (Construction Skills

Certification Scheme (CSCS) http://www.cscs.uk.com/ and Construction Plant Competence Scheme

(CPCS)

http://www.citb.co.uk/cards-testing/construction-plant-competence-scheme-cpcs/about-

the-cpcs/) and delivering training to people leaving school, will also have a bearing on what training is

required.

As noted earlier, there will be other work carried out in the LEP area that does not require planning

permission, which will not have been captured in the demand analysis. With the level of demand

identified taking up most of the workforce, and given the mobility factors outlined above, it is very

likely that workers will need to be drawn in from outside the LEP to meet demand.

Long term construction employment forecast

The Construction Skills Network provides a forecast for construction employment by region and

occupation for the next five years. In numbers terms the East of England’s total employment is

predicted to increase by almost 14,000 in the five years to 2020, from just over 237,700 in 2015 to just

under 251,700 in 2020.

New Anglia LEP

Construction Labour Research

February 2016

Given that 24% of construction workers in the East of England are based in the New Anglia LEP area,

it is possible to use the CSN forecast for the region to estimate the changes to the LEP workforce over

the next five years. The LEP construction workforce would be expected to increase by around 3,300

- 3,400 workers between 2015 and 2020.

The Annual Recruitment Requirement (ARR) is a gross requirement that takes into account workforce

flows into and out of construction, due to factors such as movements between industries, migration,

sickness, and retirement. It provides an indication of the number of new employees that would need

to be recruited into construction each year in order to realise forecast output.

The East of England’s RR for 2016-2020 is 3,900. This is higher than the overall increase in the

construction workforce due to the negative effect of people leaving the industry. It represents 1.6%

of base 2016 employment, similar to the UK average of 1.7%.

The ARR for the New Anglia area would be expected to be in the region of 900-950 additional recruits

per year (in addition to the workforce flows and movement in and out of the industry outlined above).

The occupations most in demand over the 2016-2020 forecast period will be:

Electrical trades and installers - 165 ARR

Labourers nec - 120 ARR

Painters and Decorators - 100 ARR

There is some cross-over between the short term requirements outlined by the Glenigan data and

these longer term forecasts, in that both predict a demand for Labourers nec. In addition, recruitment

into the following occupations will be needed:

Electrical trades and installers - these are generally associated with the final fit-out phase of most

construction projects once the main building work has been completed. Training provision within

these trades is generally plentiful and geared towards both vocational and certification of operatives;

as such it is not anticipated that this relatively high ARR should cause undue problems for the industry

within the LEP.

Likewise Painters and Decorators are most in demand at the end of building projects. As one of the

main four construction trades, training is generally readily available at FE colleges and private training

providers across the country. It is also one of the few construction occupations to have relatively high

demand from female applicants, so again there should be no shortage of supply across the LEP for this

occupation.

Conclusions and recommendations

Summary of Concluding Remarks

This section makes recommendations drawn from the demand and supply analysis and the

requirement for any additional construction based provision that should be considered as part of the

wider New Anglia Construction Action Plan.



The analysis of the labour demand arising from project spend in the New Anglia LEP peaks at

around 39,000 people in 2016.



The tail off beyond this point is not likely to represent an actual drop off in construction

activity but reflects projects that have not yet been identified. To project forward this cliff

edge in construction activity we have produced an indication of how construction activity in

the region (East Anglia) as a whole is forecast to change over the next five years. This shows a

constantly increasing construction spend and activity rising to almost 40,000 by the end of the

decade. These figures only represent the developments that are included in Glenigan, which

will not necessarily capture all of the construction activity.



There will be significant construction activity across the repair and maintenance sector that is

not captured as part of this detailed analysis but will impact demand. Equally ‘unknown’

projects that sit below the £250,000 value are not captured in the pipeline analysis but should

potentially be considered as part of future demand. The scenario analysis produced at section

3.5 of this report demonstrates that the average construction workforce in New Anglia could

rise to 96,350 in 2016.



The labour demand is split in roughly equal proportions between Norfolk and Suffolk.



In the short-term, construction activity in the area is dominated by housing, (for the peak year,

2016, more than 50% of the labour requirement is housing related) with public non-residential

and infrastructure activity also comprising significant parts of the total spend, the latter mostly

owing to offshore wind installations in Norfolk.



The largest occupational group is wood trades and interior fit out, with a large labour demand

arising from non-manual occupations.



The analysis was extended to include the work planned for Sizewell C Nuclear New Build,

commencing in 2021. The demand figures from NESA were used for the analysis and

superimposed on the demand in the East of England region, assuming that for the years

beyond 2019, a steady yearly increase of 0.9% will be observed in the employment, equal to

the average yearly increase for the period 2015-2019 predicted by the CITB Construction Skills

Network.



It shows that across the two counties the peak demand at Sizewell accounts for up to almost

10% of the rest of the workload. Should there be any changes in timescales to the works then

the increased demand will be delayed.



Current construction workforce estimates for the East of England are just over 247,000

workers.



New Anglia LEP accounts for 24% of the East’s current construction employment (approx͘

59,500 workers).



The recession impacted the East of England region significantly regarding its construction

workforce (note this is measured by region and not LEP area) reaching a low in 2010 before

recovery commenced, though it has still not reached its 2008 peak.

New Anglia LEP

Construction Labour Research

February 2016



There is significant construction based opportunity in neighbouring LEP areas including Essex,

Peterborough, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. This heightens the risk of construction

workers based in New Anglia commuting to other LEP areas for more attractive opportunities.



Within the LEP construction employment is fairly evenly spread between the counties of

Norfolk and Suffolk (25,700 in Norfolk and 23,400 in Suffolk).



Construction businesses are also fairly evenly split between Norfolk and Suffolk with 3,885 in

Norfolk and 3,485 in Suffolk, and the size profile of these employers is the same across both

counties with the overwhelming majority (over 93%) being micro sized companies (0-9

employees) in both.



There were just under 5,600 Construction and Building Services Engineering learning aims

delivered in the LEP area, accounting for 6.5% of the total number of learning aims in

2012/13¹⁹.



Twenty-eight training providers delivered construction relevant FE courses within the LEP

area, with the six main providers delivering almost two-thirds (64%) of all FE Construction and

Building Services Engineering learning.



55% of all construction workers in the East of England were working in the same region where

their career started.



63% of construction workers in the East of England also live in the region with 37% travelling

in from other areas.



When comparing demand with supply potential gaps exist in non-construction operatives, civil

engineering operatives, specialist building operatives and also surveyors, glaziers, roofers,

labourers and plant operatives are occupations to monitor.

Recommendations

Given the demand profile of projects within the pipeline in the New Anglia area and the pull

that major projects will have on the pool of available suitability qualified labour there is a clear

need for a dedicated Construction Action Plan underpinned by an Investment Plan that will

enable the skills challenges to be acted on a regularly updated evidence base that will inform

decision making. Feedback from stakeholders states that they want a partnership between

the business community, client side and education providers.

Whilst the major project at Sizewell will have a significant impact there is considerable

opportunity that sits outside of the project particularly in the housing sector, and this

represents a real opportunity for the LEP to support business and education providers through

a well-developed partnership approach as described in the dedicated Construction Action Plan

above.

A number of risks need to be managed and mitigated, particularly regarding the peak demand

levels next year. These include ensuring the local labour force can benefit from the

opportunities materialising, ensuring skills gaps are addressed through training interventions

in both the short and longer term and that curriculum across the area is well planned. Further

strong links need to be formed between employers and educational providers at both HE and

FE level to co-develop and co-design modules to support specialist learning relating directly to

delivery. Whilst it is not possible to assess the exact skills gaps and shortages relating to

unknown projects and repair & maintenance, the scenario produced suggests that New

¹⁹ Note: a leaner can have multiple learning aims depending upon the nature of the course learning.

New Anglia LEP

Construction Labour Research

February 2016

Anglia will experience significant activity in this area and this heightens the need for a

flexible and mobile workforce.

Occupations highlighted as having pinch-points should form part of an early action plan to

assess what short-term interventions can be activated to address these concerns and identify

funding that can be utilised to pump-prime short term training interventions.

Image and recruitment into the industry remains a constant issue. Given the demand profile

for the LEP area it is vital that stakeholders work together to create a campaign to promote

the construction industry and clear career pathways for all members of society to pursue a

construction based career. This includes apprentices, graduates, the long term unemployed,

adult returners and new entrants, regardless of ethnicity or gender.

Commission regularly updated Labour Market Intelligence (LMI) to provide an evidence base

that supports decision making and demonstrates to tomorrow’s construction workers both

the opportunities in construction in the pipeline and the future vision. Labour Market

intelligence should be updated as least yearly.

Appendix A. Methodological note about the LFT

The Labour Forecasting Tool (LFT) was used to develop a profile of estimated labour requirements in

the LEP area. The tool creates a bottom up approach to skills forecasting by aggregating the

employment from individual projects to create an area-specific profile. The Labour Forecasting Tool

can predict labour requirements (i.e. number of operatives and managers) on a month-by-month and

trade-by-trade basis given no more than the type of project, its value or gross floor area where

appropriate, its location and its start and end dates. The LFT produces an indication of the total

construction labour demand arising for that project. The labour for the project may or may not stem

from within the immediate vicinity and in some cases (eg professionals) be based in another part of

the country.

The projects analysed were assigned the most appropriate project model in the LFT’s database͘ For

the scope of this analysis, the following models were used:



Housing



Public Non-residential



Private Commercial



Private Industrial



Housing R&M



Non-housing R&M



Airports



Biomass



Construction employment is broken down into 28 occupation groups²⁰.

The labour demand is shown in two ways:

1. Total Person Years - the total person years for each occupation required for the project. This

output takes no account of the project duration which has been given in the original data. For

instance if the total person years were 50, this means that if the project lasts for one year

there would be 50 people employed for one year; if it lasted for two years then there would

be an average of 25 people employed each year.

2. Peak workforce - this is the highest number of people involved with the construction process

throughout the whole development. The month for which the peak occurs is also provided. It

should be noted that the peak labour demand refers to the current “snapshot” of the

scheduled development spend. It is prudent to expect that, should the investment in future

years follow the same pattern, the peak demand figures are likely to be similar for future

years, assuming the mix of projects remains consistent.

²⁰ The employment profile is disaggregated by 28 occupational groups within the LFT. Details of these groups are given in

Appendix B.
