In addition, this creates many more opportunities to implement automation and digital tools, particularly in off-site manufacturing..
Why the project is being built, what needs to be designed and constructed, and how this will be accomplished.If we begin to dig deeper at this root and help stakeholders to work together differently to make sure they have this common understanding, we will not only improve the way projects are delivered but also the way people feel about their experience working on a project.. 2.

This will in turn reduce frustration on site and, ultimately, change the way people work in the construction industry to make it more attractive to the next generation.. 4.How do we drive that path to net-zero carbon emissions with greater impact on social value?
These things are crucial to strategic policy, both in terms of the new assets that we build, and how we operate the existing ones.As an industry, we have a moral obligation to do better.
The current opportunity for transformation and progress in construction has arrived at a critical time..Evaluating Risk and Driving Value.
