Construction on the road to recovery

Experts admit the construction industry has been ready for disruption for a long time and the COVID-19 pandemic notably accelerated an inevitable process. The last 18 months have been anything but easy. At the same time, they present a wonderful opportunity to reflect, reimagine and build back stronger construction businesses.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world, affecting communities and businesses globally. The last 12 months have been challenging for everyone but even more so for construction. While decisive actions are being taken fast, much remains to be done.

The effects of the global pandemic will be multi-faceted, impossible to ignore and will be looming soon. After the initial shock, the construction industry resolved the immediate challenges and became an inspiration for everyone. The industry showed  resilience and kept going despite virus-related shutdowns, procurement and near-term cash challenges.

Now is the time for construction businesses to reflect on their vulnerabilities and strategise as to how to achieve better overall visibility of their operations, improve efficiency and build back stronger.

At 4PS, with over 20 years of construction industry experience, we understand the challenges and the amplified effects of COVID on a number of construction organisations. However, one thing became quite clear during these hard months – businesses need to be flexible to improve performance and increase productivity in addition to being sustainable. Now is the time for resilience, reimagination and reform. It’s time to build back stronger.
