What’s more, the construction industry’s looking good too – as recent figures show the construction sector’s grown over the last three months. And things look set to get better and better as experts predict building boom after building boom.
Skilled tradesmen and smaller firms could soon benefit from a simpler and easier procurement and planning process, as the government has said it’ll simplify planning and some organisations have lobbied local and national government to remove contract bundling from the procurement process.

Skilled tradesmen could soon be in high demand as the government and the private sector have pledged to invest billions in construction, in a move that will create new jobs for bricklayers, plasterers, carpenters, decorators, tilers and plumbers, as well as gas and electrical engineers.
And London-based contractors are especially set to benefit, as experts predict the capital will enjoy a decade-long boom in both residential and student builds.
Electrical engineers and renewable contractors could soon be in high demand, as a proposed £110 billion investment to reform Britain’s energy infrastructure is set to supercharge job opportunities for skilled tradesmen.
What’s more, experts have called on the government to incentivise training for renewable professionals as the marine and wind energy industries are expected to create 115,000 new jobs over the next ten years too.
A landmark occasion was highlighted in the news this week as the 2012 Olympics reached the July 27th planned opening date, now exactly just two years away.
The construction industry in London continues to benefit from preparations for the 2012 Olympics. The £303 million Aquatics Centre and the £80 million Velopark are among the key stadium building projects to have started on site over the last year, while work has also commenced on the Olympic Village.
Recent trends within the construction industry as a whole, seem to show a continuing, if cautious improvement in the recovery from recession. Various news reports for the last quarterly show that renewal of work on building projects, temporarily halted in the last two years, have helped with improving work prospects across the industry trades.
This is encouraging news, especially for those currently in Electrical NVQ 2330 training or on a Plumbing 6129 level 2 course. The slowly returning confidence spells optimistic prospects for the many men and women thinking of entering the industry by enrolling on a training course at an approved skills learning centre.
Individuals searching for a new career and are thinking to train as a bricklayer or learn tiling, the prospects for employment in the private residential housing market have started to pick up during the second half of 2009, cutting the decline for the year to just 11%.
During the first five months of 2010, the sector continued its recovery, growing by almost 50% compared to the same period of 2009. Examples of residential housing projects set to begin early in 2011 around the capital, include a £9 million, 2 year construction of 157 flats and 2 Commercial Units at Bow Common Lane, East London and a £137 million regeneration scheme in the Borough of Brent to develop 1, 800 units across South Kilburn.
Electricians, plumbers, tilers, bricklayers and plasterers possessing formal City & Guilds NVQ qualifications could be elegible to participate in any number of identical projects mushroomimg around London and the South East, according to experience, employment and apprenticeship status.
