KEY PILLARS AND DRIVERS OF TRANSFORMATION IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT Skills development Government projects, policies and legislation Industry-wide factors Cyclicality of the construction industry. Increased regulation and legislation. Sustainable Development - environment and energy impact assessment. Urbanisation and need for housing and services. Increased need for job creation and job quality Globalisation and internationalisation of operations. Other industry factors. 4
LAYERED TRANSFORMATION AGENDA FOR BUILT ENVIRONMENT PROFESSIONS 5
Skills supply constraints Problems with an adequate supply of maths and science graduates. Throughput rate of graduates is around 30% in record time and 66% in 5 years Attractiveness of the BE professions which are perceived as dirty, dangerous and male dominated. Loss of BE professions to other economic sectors; finance and consulting. Emigration recently accentuated by internationalisation of BE firms. Cyclical nature of the construction industry leads to loss of BE skills in times of economic downturns which leads to reduced demand for BE services and skills. Public service conditions of employment and image issues. 6
Key Skills Issues Skills inequalities: only 10% of all school learners pass matric with a maths or science pass of 30% or more only around 8,3% of Africans currently have a degree, diploma or NTC qualification Graduate throughput: graduation within 5 years on a 4-year degree: black: 23% white: 55% 7

ISSUES THAT ARE CURRENTLY SHAPING THE COMPETITIVE STRATEGIES OF CONTRACTING Source: Rust and Koen (2011) 16
Key Drivers Market structure: dominated by SMEs industry consolidation (mainly in consulting engineering) Public sector procurement: public sector tendering practices public sector spend client risk management capacity payment delays( in 2011 - approx 24% of earnings were outstanding over 90 days) Business conditions 17
Structure of Built Environment Professions Firms CESA (represents the largest number of most Consulting Engineering firms) reports that 66% of its members are SMEs employing less that 20 people. SAIA (represents the largest number of Architectural firms) reports that 86% of its members are SMEs. ILASA survey (represents the largest number of Landscape Architectural firms) of 2010 found 66 firms with an average of 2 employees and the largest employing 12 people. Construction Project and Construction Managers (CPM). Few pure CPM companies, mostly multi-disciplinary companies. Pure CPM dominated by micro-enterprises. ASAQS ((represents the largest number of Quantity Surveying firms) reports that it has approximately 450 corporate members with the majority being SMEs. SMME dominance of BEPs industry has implications for adherence and fulfilment of 7 elements of BBBEE. Codes of Practice for Qualifying Small Enterprises stipulates that they need to choose 4 elements weighted at 25% each to sum to 100. 18
