Growing demands on building materials and construction processes

Demands in the construction sector are constantly increasing—not only in technical terms, but also in terms of environmental and legal requirements. Sustainable building materials, energy-efficient construction, and circular building concepts are becoming increasingly important. Construction companies must find pragmatic solutions that can be implemented economically. Some of the dominant topics:

  • Building materials with an optimized carbon footprint
  • Insulation and energy systems for sustainable building operation
  • Requirements due to new building regulations and subsidy programs
Technology, standards, and costs are intertwined – those who fail to plan ahead will lose time and money.

Digitalization in construction: potential and reality

BIM, 3D laser scans, and automated quantity calculations promise efficiency—but the reality is often fragmented. Although many planning offices and construction companies use digital tools, integrated processes are the exception rather than the rule. Implementation often fails due to interface problems or a lack of acceptance on the construction site. Digital potential lies in, among other things:

  • Consistent planning from design to construction
  • Precise quantity determination and scheduling
  • Live documentation of construction progress via app or sensor technology
The advantage: projects can be managed in a much more transparent and cost-efficient manner if digital processes are implemented correctly.

The construction industry caught between a shortage of skilled workers and tight deadlines

Tight deadlines, increasing project complexity, and a shortage of skilled workers pose major challenges for many companies. Without reliable personnel planning and flexible construction organization, there is a risk of delays or quality problems. Strategies to ease the burden on construction operations:

  • Prefabrication and serial construction to shorten construction time
  • Modular concepts for better planning
  • Targeted use of external specialists in the event of bottlenecks
To be successful in the long term, you need more than just technology—you need a resilient interplay of personnel, logistics, and structure.
