The Lechley Community

Glass facade, the photograph community.lechley.com opens on

A free home for your career in UK construction.

Everything on community.lechley.com is free, and it is built around the things people actually ask me for on calls: how to get from where they are to the next level, what is happening in the market this week, who is moving where, and who they can learn from. Sign in is an email address. No password, no card, no catch.

Three ways to get ahead

Free, under your own name, from the first sign-in.

Pathways
Pathways

Twelve structured routes from first role to director level, one per discipline: commercial, planning, estimating, operations, design and more. Real lessons, real exams, and a certificate at the end. All free.

Mentoring
Mentoring

Matched personally with someone a few rungs ahead who will tell you the truth about the move you are weighing up. Mentors with real miles on the clock. It costs nothing.

The Exchange
The Exchange

Name three things you could teach someone from a different generation in construction, and three you would like to learn. You are matched, and a half-hour coffee is booked for you.

Free, and staying free

The community is run by Lechley Associates and paid for by the search work. There is no premium tier, no paywall on the pathways and nothing to buy at the end of a course. What I get back is a better-informed industry and a conversation with the people who will lead it.
