| dc.description.abstract | The construction sector plays a key role in any country's economy.According to a report published by the World Economic Forum, the construction industry currently accounts for about 6% of the world GDP [1] and is expected to reach around 14.7% in 2030 [2]. Construction is a strategically important sector for the European economy involving a wide range of stakeholders and companies, providing 18 million jobs[209]. According to the World Economic Forum, a 1% rise in productivity worldwide could save $100 billion a year in construction costs [3], with the potential to contribute for a country's competitiveness and sustainable development [4–6]. The construction industry consumes a very significant proportion of the raw materials produced around the world, using for instance 50% ofthe global steel production, and is responsible for 30% of the world greenhouse gas emissions. Nonetheless, it provides the fabric of the built environment on which society depends [1,3]. The population living in urban areas is rapidly increasing, which impacts the need for affordable houses, public transportation and utility infrastructure. Yet the perceived image of the construction sector is predominantly low-tech, still relying on craft-based methods, characterized by a poorperformance and quality image [7–10]. The 2016 survey ‘Sustainability in the Supply Chain’ carried out bythe Scape Group [11] concluded that 58% of all construction supplier And contractor respondents identified skilled workforce shortages as anobstacle for a future modernized construction sector | eng |
