The region’s construction companies will be under “increasing pressure” to innovate and create sustainable alternatives to standard building products over the next year. That’s according to Mike Thompson, managing director of Linford Building, who spoke to Insider.
Thompson said that the year would require creativity, innovation and hard work from the sector.
“Everyone is under increasing pressure – we have weathered the last few years, but it is still going to be difficult,” he said.
Linford Building is a division of The Linford Group, which won a national award for its sustainable ‘hemp house’ last year. The house was created with a hemp-based substance to replace concrete.
“I think all building firms are having to look at sustainable measures,” said Thompson. “We specialise in architectural and restorative work, and are looking to secure a place on the West Midlands construction framework.”
Thomson said if the company was successful in gaining a place on the framework, whereby the chosen firms will tender for construction projects, then there “could be room for expansion”.
“We’re not really thinking about expansion at the moment,” he said. “But who knows, if our tender to join the framework is successful, we may begin to think about growing the business then.”
