The Government has committed £170m to pushing construction into the digital age and accelerating the training of apprentices.
Business and Energy Secretary Greg Clark will unveil the investment as part of a sector deal for the building industry at a speech in Newcastle today. Construction firms will also stump up £250m.
The Government said the cash will be used to spark a “bytes and mortar revolution” by improving digital design and off-site manufacturing of building components, which it claims can help halve the time it takes to build homes.
