The Industry formerly known as Construction: Implications for the Society of Construction Law

Richard G Saxon

July 2003

A paper based on a talk given to a meeting of the Society of Construction Law in London on 3rd June 2003.

The paper contends that the movement 'ethinking Construction' and the Latham reforms before it, have had limited impact because of their concept of the construction industry. A broader definition, embracing the provision of built environment over its lifecycle, opens up more productive viewpoints for providers and potential for greater stakeholder satisfaction.
