English abstract
The skills gap through labour force migration is a huge concept which has been explained in numerous contexts. It has a direct relationship with the labour market, labour price and construction cost. The aim of this project is to help resolve the skills gap through labour force migration, specifically in construction projects. Firstly, a literature review was conducted to analyse the impact of labour migration on the construction industry and investigate whether construction projects need flexible skills from labour immigration. Subsequent to this, the methodology of this research was carried out and information was collected in the form of a case study. The case study has focus to Uk construction industry in order to find viable solutions. One of the finding of this research will support the argument for labour migration in the construction industry as well as providing a recommendation about how to addressing skills gap through labour force migration. There would therefore appear to be a definite need for more research in relation to developing skills of local labour in the construction industry.
