The Manx government has a long-term plan to support the construction industry in the Isle of Man.
So says Treasury Minister Eddie Teare, who appeared live on Manx Radio's Sunday Opinion programme.
Construction has been somewhat beleaguered in the last few years and has relied on an ever-greater proportion of public sector contracts to prop it up.
Mr Teare says a greater balance needs to be struck, with more private sector work being brought through planning:
