Construction

The construction industry increasingly faces trends and developments that may not immediately be under its direct control but do have a marked effect on building processes. These developments can include growing internationalization, increasing urbanization, an aging population, a higher awareness for climate, technological innovations, or new types of construction – such as modular construction. On top of that, there is the coronavirus and its economic consequences as well as changes in government policies. Construction has a lot going on. Challenges mount from different angles, and it is up to the industry to find a way how to best cope with these.
