Digitalization provides solutions to current challenges in the construction industry
According to a study conducted by Deloitte, “Real Estate Confidence Survey for Central Europe”, the increase in construction costs is the biggest challenge of 2022 for 90% of real estate companies in Romania and other countries in Southeast Europe.
Study participants believe that the war in Ukraine has generated supply chain syncope, accelerating the rise in the price of both building materials and energy. This concern, together with that related to widespread inflation, the difficulty of finding land and the general uncertainty in the market, is reflected in the perception of developers about the evolution of profit margins, 90% of which expect a deterioration.
According to ZF, the percentage by which the prices of the main construction materials increased is between 15 and 100% from March 2021 to March 2022, given that in the spring of last year the same materials had already gone through several rounds of price increases.

By subcontracting, the construction company outsources certain types of work to other companies. Although this allows you to work on several stages of a project's development, it can get tricky when several are running at the same time.

Read on to find out if a software solution for construction companies can help you reduce the pressure associated with working with subcontractors.

After, in 2020 and 2021, the construction industry supported the entire economy both in Romania and in Europe, following a difficult period for builders, in which the effects of the pandemic were felt. After the pandemic came the effects of the war in Ukraine: stockpiles of materials became a problem, and prices soared. All of these events will take effect years from now, because even if the war in Ukraine ends tomorrow, it may take years for the supply chains to be rebuilt, as many factories and roads have already been destroyed.
Now more than ever, the work of real estate developers depends fundamentally on exemplary planning, budgeting and execution at any stage of the project. The coordination of all activities associated with construction requires a complex IT system, which also allows integration with advanced project management solutions.
