In the construction industry, project size is measured in value. Big projects get measured in the hundreds of millions, and mega-projects in the billions. But rarely are there projects where estimates range greater than 100 billion. But delivering the unbelievable infrastructure project that is HS2, are thousands of very real…

We’ll set out what needs to be done and which crews will work where. This unremarkable scenario plays out hundreds of thousands of times every day on projects around the world. But how do we…
