The construction industry is at a crossroads, with upcoming regulatory reform, new and emerging technology, and a desire to change its cultural behaviour providing both a challenge and an opportunity for all its professionals. Over the past few years it has become clear that, to improve the competency of the industry and to rebuild trust with the public, we must adapt and evolve - we need regulatory reform to protect the safety and wellbeing of all building users as well as the environment. We need to change the way we procure and source construction products to ensure we treat everyone fairly and deliver buildings that are fit for purpose. And we must look to technology to discover what is available and how it can help us build - not just from a cost-saving point of view, but to create efficiencies that will produce safer, more resilient and greater energy-efficient structures.
