Expenditures totalling £483 billion are committed to infrastructure for the five-year period ending in 2021, with 60% of funding expected to come from the private sector. The government is committed to invest £100 billion, a 60% increase from the previous period. Large infrastructure projects in the planning or construction phases include Crossrail and Crossrail 2, Lower Thames Crossing, Hinkley Point C, Birmingham’s Big City Plan, the Strategic Road Network, and High Speed 2.

"A Really Strong Pipeline"

“The UK is in quite an exciting place in terms of its infrastructure development,” says Richard Threlfall, UK Head of Infrastructure, Building, and Construction at KPMG. “There is for the first time in many generations a really strong pipeline of work in nearly all sectors, but the challenges are that it is one of the most woefully inefficient industries on the planet.”
