Perceptions of hybrid concrete construction in the UK construction industry

Abstract

The findings from a survey of attitudes amongst professional and trade (PT) groups in the UK construction industry in relation to the use of hybrid concrete construction (HCC) are reported in this paper. Following a brief introduction to HCC, the context of the research presented here is explained. An account of the research methods used in the project is given, together with guidance on appropriate techniques for interviewing professional and trade groups in the construction industry. The findings from the survey are divided into two sections: areas of consensus and areas of disagreement. Conclusions are drawn relating to the future design, procurement and construction of buildings that incorporate HCC.
