A Sector Being Transformed by Digital and Green Commitments
Demand for construction and real estate has rebounded — even accelerated — in the years following the pandemic. But against this backdrop, the industry faces ongoing challenges, including supply chain disruption and scarcity of materials, a lack of available talent and the uncertainty of operating in a volatile economic landscape. Plus, perennial risks like cashflow management have not gone away.
