Impacts, Risks and Opportunities
Sustainability in Construction Industry
As buyers of building materials and designers of buildings, roads, bridges and tunnels, construction companies are the “makers” of the construction transition. Transformation takes into account the later consumption of resources in the operational phase of the structures right from the planning stage, pays attention to the selection of sustainable and recyclable building materials and materials, goes through smart, safe and partly automated construction processes and ends with the sustainable organization of the construction site itself.
Waste of building materials is avoided, dust development is minimized, construction waste is reduced and individual components are dismantled for recycling during dismantling. Climate-positive construction projects in production and operation and innovative concepts for climate resilience offer enormous potential. Cooperations with colleges and universities are important building blocks for advancing transformation in the construction sector.

Cooperations with colleges and universities are important building blocks for advancing transformation in the construction sector.
After 100 years of minor changes, the future of construction will become more digital, standardized, circular – and therefore more sustainable. One example is the digitization of processes and data via Building Information Modeling (BIM). Industrial prefabrication in building construction also offers transformative potential, including the use of circular, modular components that move work steps from the construction site to the factory floor, as well as 3D printing of buildings. Processes are simplified and shortened.
The industry includes, for example, civil engineering, the construction of prefabricated houses, prefabricated components, roads, cycle paths, railway lines, bridges, tunnels, pipelines, wells, sewage treatment plants, cable network lines as well as the general construction industry, preparatory construction site work and other supporting construction activities.
