Real Estate and Construction Industry Consulting

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.
