The future of construction is changing. Like every industry there is the necessary drive when it comes to construction to attain higher levels of efficiency in all areas of work and reduce our carbon footprint.

Consumers are demanding action on climate change, and voting with their wallets seeking out sustainable products and green buildings—which we in the BDAA work continually to build.

Businesses, whether driven by profit or altruism or both, are motivated to meet this demand and do their bit but they are unsure how. In fact, many of the 632,000 businesses operating in the built environment (nearly 30% of all Australian business) do not have sustainable development on their business horizon—something the BDAA aims to change.

The shift towards a model of industrialised construction will transform the industry, ensuring it is better prepared for future global economic, climate and cultural turmoil.
