However, ongoing headlines suggest a growing skills and materials shortage, which could significantly impact infrastructure projects. This includes the Office for National Statistics reporting material costs rose by 20% between July 2020 and 2021, and the Construction Skills Network suggesting the industry requires 217,000 additional workers to meet demand by 2025.
