CONSTRUCTION

The future of sustainable building.
By Helmut Schuller, CEO, SCHULLER & Company

We see hybrid construction not just as a method, but as a platform for the future of sustainable building.”— Helmut Schuller, CEO, SCHULLER & Company

A sector in transition
The construction industry is experiencing a profound change. Climate change and the associated CO₂ reduction targets are forcing companies to rethink their use of materials. At the same time, a shortage of skilled labour and increasing time pressure make automation and digitalisation unavoidable. Projects are becoming more complex, while quality expectations continue to rise, demanding closer coordination across disciplines. New regulations and incentive schemes are creating additional momentum by rewarding sustainable methods and BIM-based workflows. Finally, the arrival of new materials such as green steel and recycled concrete is reshaping the technical and economic foundations of the sector.
