All too often in life, work and leisure we are too close to an issue, a problem or project to see it in true perspective. We need to take a step back, maybe two or three paces back to gain a better view of the whole project. That is what the argument is behind whole life costing being promoted by CLAW and central to our recent Public Sector Forum.

With challenging funding constraints across the public sector likely to continue for the foreseeable future the need to drive greater long term value through our built environment assets has never been more important. Pressure on both capital and operational budgets mean that neither can be viewed in isolation.

Poor and short term decisions to reduce expenditure on capital projects can have serious implications for longer term running costs. Conversely the performance of a well-built project will be seriously compromised if poorly maintained and operated.

On the 9th July, Leigh Hughes, Board Director at CEW and Business Development Director at Bouygues presented details of our work here at CEW and the exciting prospect for the opportunity we see for G4C, as our future leaders.
