Rakennusalaa vaivaa tuottavuuden umpisolmu ja kysynnän piristyessä edessä voi olla asuntopula.

Ratkaisu:
▶︎ Rakentamisen johtaminen on modenisoitava ja siirryttävä projektin johtamisesta ja urakan osaoptimoinnista koko tuotannon johtamiseen.
▶︎ Työtehtävien suunnittelun ja ohjauksen keskittäminen pääurakoitsijan vastuulle.

Lopputulos:
✅ Tilaajalle nopeampi ja edullisempi projekti.
✅ Pääurakoitsijalle parempi kate.
✅ Aliurakoitsijalle ennakoitavampi ja sujuvampi työ sekä parempi laskutusaste omalle työvoimalle.
✅ Tekijöille edellytykset tehdä työnsä hyvin.

Kun asiat tehdään kerralla oikein, rakentamisen laatu ja nopeus kasvavat käsi kädessä.

Teollisen rakentamisen asiantuntijamme Eetu Heiska avaa tilannetta tarkemmin Talouselämän Tebatissa.
