Ray O鈥橰ourke, chair and chief executive of contractor Laing O鈥橰ourke, has called for firms to move towards 35-hour working weeks to attract more young people into the industry.

Speaking at the Government Construction Summit O鈥橰ourke said: 鈥淭he industry is not a very attractive place to be. It鈥檚 not sustainable to work with the current methods of delivery.鈥�

He argued that a move to greater use of off site construction would make it 鈥渋nevitable鈥� that working weeks would be shortened.

He said: 鈥淵ou would have less demand for hours of work and you would be able to have young people interested in a career.鈥�

Laing O鈥橰ourke has invested millions in a massive off site construction plant in Derbyshire. 鈥淭he approach that we are bringing forward is key to enabling a 35-hour working week,鈥� he said.

O鈥橰ourke also argued that the industry needed  a more collaborative approach to procurement which incentivised all parties to be deliver successful projects ditching the current adversarial atmosphere.
