<p>Explore how innovation in construction materials, digital tools and&nbsp;industrialised&nbsp;processes could transform how Europe builds—and who works in construction.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The conversation looks at why construction has changed so little for decades and how technologies such as digital twins, Building Information Modelling (BIM),&nbsp;robotics&nbsp;and artificial intelligence are reshaping design,&nbsp;production&nbsp;and collaboration.&nbsp;Industrialised, factory-based construction offers major gains in precision, cost control, waste&nbsp;reduction&nbsp;and worker safety.&nbsp;That will make&nbsp;construction attractive to young people and help solve the industry’s&nbsp;labour&nbsp;shortage.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The episode argues for a life-cycle approach to buildings, from design and construction to operation and end-of-life reuse of materials. By combining innovation with circular thinking, Europe can deliver buildings that are both affordable and sustainable.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
