How Innovation Could Make Construction an Industry You’ll Want to Work in

Explore how innovation in construction materials, digital tools and industrialised processes could transform how Europe builds—and who works in construction.  The conversation looks at why construction has changed so little for decades and how technologies such as digital twins, Building Information Modelling (BIM), robotics and artificial intelligence are reshaping design, production and collaboration. Industrialised, factory-based construction offers major gains in precision, cost control, waste reduction and worker safety. That will make construction attractive to young people and help solve the industry’s labour shortage.  The episode argues for a life-cycle approach to buildings, from design and construction to operation and end-of-life reuse of materials. By combining innovation with circular thinking, Europe can deliver buildings that are both affordable and sustainable. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
