Platform on new construction, renovation, restoration and transformation
Last year was an eventful year for the construction industry, partly due to rising material prices. Themes surrounding sustainability, circularity and the Quality Assurance Act also ensure that you as a builder will face challenges in both the short and long term. To prepare you well for this, WEBO has published the article '5 trends for the construction industry' published. The article explains how biobased materials, among other things, can provide a solution to various challenges.
WEBO is a manufacturer of wooden window frames and precast HSB elements, developing sustainable solutions for construction with 2050 as the dot on the horizon. Curious to read the full in-depth article? Check it out for free on the website from WEBO
The trends are briefly explained below:
Due in part to the war in Ukraine, construction costs rose 9 percent for residential builders and 11 percent for nonresidential builders (wages and materials) in 2022. This year, prices are expected to rise further by 3 to 4 percent. This will have a significant impact on both current and new projects. Read more
An important trend is the increase in biobased materials, with wood as the most important material for the construction industry. Indeed, by 2030, the construction industry must use 55 percent fewer primary raw materials and emit 50 percent less CO2. Biobased and renewable materials such as wood offer the solution to this.

In recent years, more and more recycled building materials have been used. As a result, raw materials do not have to be reclaimed and thus less nitrogen and CO2 is released. When designing a building, more and more attention is being paid to how parts can be connected "detachably. Read more
To make the construction process more sustainable and increase housing stock, there is a shift from traditional to prefabricated and modular construction. By moving most of the work from the construction site to the factory, construction processes are more closely aligned and transport costs of loose materials to the site are saved. Read more
An important development in the construction industry is quality assurance. The Quality Assurance Act (Wkb) is currently delayed again, but the new regulations are on the way. This means that the contractor will soon remain liable for defects found after the delivery of a building unless it can be shown that the defects arose by other means. Read more
As an industry, we must work toward a circular construction process by 2050 while innovating to accelerate the housing stock. Developments such as rising material prices also present challenges that require a concerted strategy. WEBO explains in the in-depth article how biobased materials and prefabricated construction offer a solution to these challenges.
