Construction

Abstract

Innovation is an unloved word in the building industry, which has a reputation for extravagant conservatism. Thus attempts to change traditional training methods are viewed with suspicion, incredulity and some hostility. Those who are pioneering new ways have repeatedly been obliged to prove the obvious, namely that young men, properly trained, can learn to carry out a craftman's job in a very much shorter time than the four years laid down.
