Every year defects in the UK construction industry cost at least £1 billion to repair or rebuild. Some of the defects will be the result of poor communication, for example, a poorly detailed drawing, operatives being given incorrect instructions or technical information not being available. This Good Building Guide gives advice on how communication can be improved to and around a construction site with particular reference to masonry construction. Improvements in communication should result in cost savings and a reduction in defects. The
diverse nature of construction projects means that not all the recommendations will be applicable to all projects and sites where masonry is being built.
Recommendations cover:
1 - The Design phase and the importance of producing and distributing complete and correct drawings
2 - The Construction phase and communication on site
3 - A list of some of the technical literature on masonry
4 - Other sources of information and advice
