A series of four articles on PFI. The first examines PFI, considers the problems that face those using PFI to fund public building schemes and looks at what needs to be done to improve its credibility. In the second article, EMCOR explains why the construction industry is still going into PFI projects and that the industry needs to learn new ways of managing and working. The third article examines the effect of PFI policy on designers involved in PFI projects. The final article discusses the experience of Whitby Bird in designing for PFI schools and whether the end result is something to be proud of.
