Engineering & Construction
The engineering and construction
industry profoundly shapes our world. The highways, bridges and
railways we traverse each day, the airports and harbours from which we
travel, our homes and offices - even the water we drink - are outputs
of Australian engineering and construction ingenuity.
With this kind of impact, engineering and
construction organisations bear a heavy responsibility and are faced
with some unique business challenges. Whether they focus their energies
in the public or private sector, their challenges remain the same, and
include:
- Advanced technology
- Demands for lower-priced contracts
- Effective property management
- Increased competition
- Increased pressure on public spending
- New forms of procurement driven by higher customer expectations
- Niche players
- The need for lower costs and shorter completion times.
In addition to these challenges,
engineering and construction companies must continue to meet strict
compliance, regulatory and tax requirements, while maintaining high
standards in environmental management.
