The building and construction industry is one of the main pillars of the economy, both nationally and internationally. It creates essential foundations for social development: housing, mobility networks, energy infrastructure and public facilities. However, the ongoing need for modern, sustainable infrastructure is increasingly placing the industry in a complex field of tension.
In addition to the noticeable shortage of skilled labour, construction companies are under high margin and time pressure. At the same time, regulatory requirements, geopolitical uncertainties and the need to tackle climate change with resource-efficient construction are increasing demands. Funding programmes such as the special fund for infrastructure and climate protection projects as well as legal measures to accelerate residential construction are evidence of this: The public sector is taking responsibility for the industry.
Forward-looking companies are increasingly relying on digital technologies and innovative methods to make planning and implementation more efficient. Building information modelling (BIM), drones and AI-supported project management are no longer visions, but part of everyday practice. At the same time, sustainability is becoming more of a focus - from the selection of environmentally friendly materials to CO₂ reduction over the entire life cycle of a building.
Our experts support you with their specific specialist and industry knowledge in the many challenges of this important sector of the economy.
