Government entity the Council for the Built Environment’s (CBE’s) Built Environment National Stakeholder Engagement, held last week in Pretoria under the theme ‘Past, Present, Future Mirror’, outlined issues facing the sector, and called for collaboration and other initiatives to address these, ensure the sustainability of the sector moving forward, and position it as a key enabler of job creation. Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Dean Macpherson called for the CBE to consider how to use the construction industry to grow the country’s economy and create jobs, positing that it is ideally positioned to engender this owing to its low barriers to entry.
