The global population is predicted to hit 9 billion by 2050, and two out of every three people are predicted to be living in cities by 2050. This means that the demand for construction is greater than ever before. Worldwide, construction is already one of the largest industry sectors, and is predicted to keep on growing steadily. This comes with some underlying challenges in productivity, profitability, performance, labour, and sustainability which could derail the industry’s growth. Companies must therefore address these challenges head-on and re-imagine their business processes.
