Challenges and requirements

The construction sector has, like many other sectors, been affected by the international financial crisis. This has resulted in an increased focus on alternative procurement models, such as public private partnerships. Other topical issues include sustainability and green building, as well as health and safety on construction sites. Extreme weather is also making its mark on the sector, with customers seeking buildings which are both more functional and less vulnerable to climatic conditions.
