  abstract: It is often said that in order to know where we are going we need to know where we have been. Since the late 1990's the construction industry has been challenged to deliver better performance in terms of value for money, time for construction and defect free construction. Behind this remodelling of an industry is government. The interest by government is not new and report after report in the Post-War period has exhorted the construction industry to perform better. This book documents how government, through influential reports, has sought to shape the performance and attitudes of parties to the construction industry.
