The UK construction industry is embracing significant new trends. Technological innovations, such as
modular construction, off-site manufacturing, AI, and robotics, are transforming project delivery and
efficiency. Additionally, a growing focus is on sustainable practices, deconstruction over demolition,
and decarbonising non-domestic buildings to meet environmental regulations and consumer demand
(see Appendix 01).
2.0 Introduction
The report below will examine the influence and importance of each PESTEL factor. According to
MOMIN (2023), the UK construction industry is heavily impacted by PESTEL. Brexit and government
policy affect labour and material costs (O'Carroll, 2023). Growth and inflation affect demand and
project viability, as stated by Burgess et al. (2018). BIM and modular construction are essential for
efficiency and labour shortages. Environmental and safety laws affect project compliance and
execution (Fowler, 2023).
