The Future of Construction

The Construction industry is currently experiencing an exciting period of growth in Britain. However, with this growth comes new challenges, meaning that businesses have had to rapidly adapt to new trends, costs, technologies, and ideas.

Sustainability is perhaps the biggest of these challenges. Pressures from the government and consumers mean that those involved in construction are rethinking how things are done. New, more ecologically friendly products are being made, and innovation is being used to make the industry more sustainable overall.

Materials that can absorb carbon emissions and can also be recycled are now being used. Recycling and the principles of a circular economy are now a major trend within construction, aiming at better using resources and minimising waste.

As the process of construction is energy intensive, the current energy crises are a real challenge to the industry. However, many new technologies and the principles of a circular economy are helping businesses face this issue.

The rapid developments in digitisation and artificial intelligence are also making an impact. These are affecting the industry in a profound way, from design and manufacture through to working practices.

These issues and what they might mean for the development of the construction industry are the focus of Executive TV’s latest programme, “The Future of Construction.” It features an in-depth discussion and analysis from key players in the sector.

Black Steel Doors are a leading supplier of luxury interior and exterior steel doors and windows in the UK.

Soprema Group are a world leader in waterproofing solutions and are also a key player in the construction sector.
