Abstract
When we think of safety in the construction industry, it is almost inevitable that the discussion starts with the work and the construction site. This is the wrong approach that is not the site and the workers that we should be interested in the whole process of inception design, tendering, construction and facilities management. this process sets the tone for how we perceive what goes on on the construction site. In paragraph we all are well aware of the winners curse. This is an inevitable consequence of competitive tendering and the lack of integration in the design and construction processes. It is time for a sea change in the thinking that we have about structure and product and we need to sit down and attempt to make sense of the construction business model which is broken at site, project and industry level.
