Thank you for Subscribing to Construction Business Review Weekly Brief
Smart cities in Europe utilise innovative construction methods to build sustainable urban environments, emphasising smart buildings for energy optimisation, carbon emission reduction, and improved quality of life. Modular construction techniques serve as a basis in this pursuit, including accelerated project delivery, cost efficiency, and eco-friendliness. Modular approaches align with the core tenets of sustainable urban development by significantly minimising waste production, compressing project timelines, and enhancing construction quality.
Modular architecture provides the flexibility and scalability necessary to change urban landscapes, reduce environmental effects, and increase energy efficiency. The swift implementation of modular construction in cities facilitates the timely completion of projects, thereby meeting pressing urban development needs.
Furthermore, integrating 3D printing, robotics, and artificial intelligence with modular construction holds immense promise for enhancing sustainability and design flexibility. By harnessing these innovations, Europe promotes smart, resilient, and habitable cities that prioritise environmental stewardship and the well-being of its inhabitants.
In this issue on Modular Construction 2024, we feature SEMODU AG and Produktif and examine how these companies facilitate developers’ and architects’ expression of creativity while leveraging the efficiency and dependability inherent in modular construction methodologies.
In addition, insights are shared from industry experts such as Ivan Bevilacqua, Head of Smart Infrastructure at Impresa Pizzarotti & C. S.p.A., and Joyce Ferng, Associate Director - ANZ Modular Lead at AECOM. They transcend mere construction service provisions, serving as catalysts for innovation and propelling the industry towards a future characterised by enhanced efficiency, resilience, and environmental stewardship. We hope these valuable insights from industry leaders featured in this edition will assist you in making informed decisions for your businesses.
