The prime minister has endorsed the construction industry鈥檚 new campaign, which aims to make the case for investment in construction to drive economic growth.

The new Construction4Growth campaign, is being organised by CITB-Construction Skills, and is backed by over 700 senior industry representatives, as well as a host of industry bodies, including the UK Contractors Group (UKCG), the Federation of Master Builders, the National Federation of Builders, the National Specialist Contractors鈥� Council, CECA, the Home Builders Federation, and the CBI.

Visiting the National Construction College in Birmingham, David Cameron said the construction industry had a 鈥渕ajor contribution to make to economic recovery鈥�.

He said: 鈥淭he construction industry has faced huge challenges over recent years and I welcome the initiative it is taking through the Construction4Growth campaign to work with the government to kickstart the industry and return it to growth.鈥�

Cameron鈥檚 comment came as the government announced to boost housing and infrastructure in a bid to drive economic growth.

Construction4Growth, which will be launched nationally on 11 September, builds on UKCG鈥檚 Creating Britain鈥檚 Future campaign, launched in July - backed by 好色先生TV magazine - which aims to make the case for investment in construction as a driver of economic growth, with every 拢1 invested in construction generating a total of 拢2.84 in economic activity.

The campaign will call for greater investment in construction to drive growth and create jobs, particularly through short-term investment in housing, repair and maintenance projects. It will also call for the government to finalise vocational education policy and support skills and training opportunities in schools, apprenticeships and into higher education.

The campaign will also lobby to ensure the government鈥檚 flagship Green Deal programme is rolled out successfully in order create a new market in 鈥済reen鈥� jobs.
