Building 2030

In 2030, construction companies are seen as highly reliable partners. The construction process is transparent and understandable to all parties and end products are of high quality and finished on time and on budget. Construction is predictable – surprising or unforeseen cost overruns and delays are avoided.

In 2030, the user of a space receives real-time information about the environmental factors affecting the building, while the building is also capable of estimating its performance and anticipating maintenance needs. Real estate adapts to the activities of its user. Buildings and the entire built environment are user-centric and planned for long-term security. Buildings can be flexibly modified and they support the user's business operations.

In 2030, all decisions are guided by sustainable development. Recyclable and safe materials are used in construction. The amount of construction waste is diminished and carbon dioxide emissions have been cut in half from 2018 levels.

By 2030, the construction sector generates value for the customer. The productivity problem of construction has been solved in planning, at building sites and in the entire delivery chain. Best practices are disseminated effectively. By being among the first to achieve broad-based solutions to the productivity problem, Finnish companies enjoy significant export and internationalisation opportunities.

In 2030, the field of construction is attractive to young and international experts as well as start-up companies. People from a variety of disciplines meet and work together effectively in the construction sector. Employers are seen as inspiring and they use innovative models of management and production. Employers in the field spur each other to undertake responsible, research-based experiments, the results of which are efficiently channelled into future projects.
