There is a crisis in the building sector as the ones from the slavic countries is going home and one who wanted to employ them before the brexit had 10 cv's every time he put out an ad, but now he just got less than 3 and he said the british dont work as hard as them and wouldnt work for minimum wage, on top of that they want to build more housing. I cant see that happening for a long time, can you? |

No there isnt a crisis in the construction industry
I work in construction management and can assure you there is no problem
As for workers from Slavic countrys being harder workers again I dispute this there are good and bad wherever you go
As for these slavic workers going home I cannot comment as I have no information on this |

. I cannot see any real problems re labour shortages in the Construction industry . To date none of the plc quoted builders have cited it as being an issue .
Again in my opinion it is also a myth that imported labour are harder workers . On one occasion a Polish carpenter charged me substantially more than a UK one would have .
To resolve any potential shortages we should be implementing some form of apprenticeship scheme .

It is big news in london and that with a hard brexit it could hit the industry very hard, the mayor said it as well and they interviewed companys on the news and they are saying the same. |

...I have taken on Polish bricklayers and hods in the past and they just can't cut it...their work is slow and shoddy. |

"They are also happy to employ Eastern European labour without the skills or the time served..... particularly in London area."

As someone who works in the commercial sector in construction for one of the top 10 national contractors I can assure you there is not an issue at present. My business unit only covers part of London and we have secured £120m since bexit. Up about £20m on what we would normally expect in the same period. The group as a whole is up £1/4bn on our half year accounts. |
