Major social challenges in the construction and real estate sector
Companies in the construction and real estate sectors face significant social challenges, such as building a hundred thousand homes per year, getting rid of gas by 2050 and raising the dikes due to rising sea levels and abundant domestic precipitation. Add to this the urgency of affordable housing and reducing energy consumption in buildings. And this in times of scarcity of labor and materials.
In addition to these social tasks, the sector also faces other challenges. For example, the digital transformation, with the most pressing points of attention being the increasing cyber threat, optimizing the IT environment, attention to data quality and risk management. Crucial in this sector in which complex and valuable projects are realized with many chain partners. These are all major challenges, in a world governed by increasing legislation and regulations surrounding CO2, nitrogen, ESG, taxation and quality assurance. This can make it challenging for entrepreneurs in the construction or real estate industry to realize ambitions and increase returns.
