The construction industry is one of the main pillars of the economy, both nationally and internationally. It creates essential foundations for social development, including housing, mobility networks, energy infrastructure and public facilities. The ongoing demand for modern and sustainable infrastructure is increasingly placing the industry in a complex area of conflict.
In addition to the noticeable shortage of skilled workers, construction companies are under high margin and time pressure. At the same time, requirements are increasing due to regulatory requirements, geopolitical uncertainties and the need to combat climate change with resource-efficient construction. Support programmes such as the German government's special fund for infrastructure and climate protection projects, as well as legal measures to accelerate housing construction, show that the public sector is holding the industry accountable.
