Section I - The slaps are coming - What's next in the shadow of the elections?
After years of soaring growth, the years of austerity have unfortunately come again for the domestic construction industry, orders, investments and construction. The uncertainties surrounding the elections and the state of the domestic economy only raise further questions. An entire industry, and moreover a sector of such importance, which creates so many people and so much added value, cannot stand still. It must work! It must work better and more efficiently. But what can and must be done by the most dedicated, professional and ambitious players in the sector to make it through the difficult years and to come out of the next big upturn stronger, not collapsed?
