Context

Substantial Constraints and Sometimes Contradictory Orientations, the Construction and Real-Estate Sector is Marked by a Changing Context:

  • Upgrading of environmental standards and labels (E + C, BREAM, HQE, LEED), “comfort” (WELL, OSMOZ) and “connectivity” (WiredScore), sometimes technically uncontrolled and sometimes contradictory,
  • Multiplication of diagnostics and inspections on construction sites (pollution, health rules, safety),
  • Growing design complexity with the need for tailor-made operators and the search for visible standardization (ranges, collections) or not visible to developers / builders,
  • Antagonistic needs of promoters (construction cost), investors (density, labels and profitability), land owners and operators (operating cost),
  • Partial control of construction programs and costs (impact of labels, impact of design choices, additional work & contingencies, reliability of costing processes, weakness of benchmarks, ratios and guidelines) generating an erosion of the margin,
  • Relative maturity of risk management programs.

Stakes

In addition to the need to have to face a context requiring constant adaptation, promoters and donors are obliged to conduct strategic discussions with a view to adapting to changes in practices linked to teleworking.
