    Industrialise Podcast Episode 17 - Mark Farmer, Cast Consultancy

    Darren Richards, Director of Cogent Consulting, is joined by Mark Farmer, Founder and CEO of Cast Consultancy and author of Modernise or Die.  Ten years on from the landmark review, Mark assesses how far construction has progressed, why economic downturn and uncertain demand have disrupted modernisation, and what the collapse of volumetric modular can teach the sector. He also explores the shift towards panelised and hybrid systems, the need for government to create real pipelines, the potential of AI and digital platforms, and why construction’s skills challenge is as much about absorbing new talent as attracting it.
