A team of Davis Langdon and AECOM experts provide their analysis of the Chancellor's Autumn Statement and what it means for construction.

Something for less: a new era of PPP – Public Private Partnering or more Peter & Paul Politics?

Against the backdrop of something for less, the message is clear. Pension funds are coming to our rescue and will help fund a declared programme of infrastructure projects through a seemingly genuine, but as yet undisclosed, partnering arrangement with Government. So will this really be the catalyst for the start of a new era of transformational growth, or will “Peter’’ end up getting robbed to pay for “Paul’s” aspirations.

Our experts have analysed yesterday’s Autumn Statement and summarise how they think it will affect the construction industry, fiscal incentives, working in the Eurozone, infrastructure, pension fund investment, and the education and residential markets.
