Outsourcing services has been around for many years in the IT and financial sectors, but has yet to make an impact on the UK construction market. More and more global companies are choosing to outsource for a number of reasons - cost-effective services, increased efficiency, increased productivity, shared risks, reduced operating costs, increased quality, better services and more time to focus on core competencies.  So why has the construction market been slower to embrace this concept?

K-Pro's Kabir Luthra thinks that it is because of the culture of personal relationships within the construction industry, but as companies work globally and methods of communications continue to improve, he feels this is less of a barrier now.  Which is why K-Pro is launching in the UK this month.

“With the UK construction market beginning to come out of recession and companies looking at new ways of working, resourcing projects and saving costs, we felt now was the perfect time to launch K-Pro in the UK.
