Which of the following would be your top three biggest challenges the construction industry is likely to face in the future (say 2050 and beyond) and why?
Construction waste management
Lack of skilled workforce
Economic Sustainability
Environmental sustainability
Transition to new technologies
Health and safety management
Project complexity
cost of materials
Following three challenges will be biggest challenges for construction industries in furture say 2050 and beyond.
1. Construction waste management:- With increase in the quantum of the construction being carried out today, it is clear that there will be very large construction projects in future. More will be the construction more will be the waste produced and by products out of construction industries. These waste products are to be disposed or reused in a better manner to avoid pollution which will be a big challenge to handel.
2. Environmental sustainability:- Today construction industries are the one of vital producer of pollutants like dust particles and carbon dioxide released during cement production. Therefore with increase in construction these threats will increase and will be big challenge. However can be handelled with new inovative technology to replace the conventional construction practice to avoid enviornmental harm.
3. Health and safety management:- In construction industry there is threat to the health of the workers due to direct exposure to dust particles. Therefore the risk will increase with increase in construction in 2050 and beyond.
