Constructuring: An Unstoppable Trend
Global urbanism is placing unprecedented demands on how we create and manage the built environment. One estimate (from Autodesk) is that we must build a seemingly impossible 1000 buildings a day for the next 33 years. Another (from McKinsey) forecasts the need for an equally daunting 10 cities the size of New York by 2050 that do not exist today. This whitepaper explores how taking a manufacturing approach to construction can not only achieve the scale needed to meet this demand, but also, deliver higher quality, sustainable and more affordable buildings, faster and with less waste. It describes increasing investment in startup companies that are creating the innovation and technology that will bring manufacturing-like efficiency to the construction industry, the role of owners who are searching for new solutions to procure their projects and the tech-savvy millennial workforce that will lead this industry transformation – all of which combine to make “Constructuring” an unstoppable trend.
