Construction, boom year. Low energy buildings, growing turnover and employment

The construction industry for the SAIE Observatory is clearly recovering compared to previous years. More sustainable houses and attention to the Central South.

Construction, boom year. Low energy buildings, growing turnover and employment

The theme of the house belongs to those who know no breaks in interpersonal discussions, nor in politics and mirrors the construction sector. It is a segment of everyday life with multiple implications. Learn that 90% of Italian construction companies are satisfied with the order book it is certainly a comforting sign and from many points of view. Because there is work, because there is 10% inflation, because mortgages are rising and not a week goes by without politics discussing tax measures on the home. The data on the positive trend in construction arrived yesterday from the Observatory SAIE on the whole supply chain. The organization brings together more than  754 thousand companies active. But in addition to work orders, we learned that the turnover of 7 out of 10 companies is growing. And that's not all. 66% of manufacturers expect a good increase in revenues by the end of the year. The Observatory, looking at the next three years, says that 72% of the sector perceives a generalized and innovative growth. Not just condos or parks built in the traditional way. It's time for buildings organized with devices a low energy consumption, installation of energy production plants from renewable sources, use of thermal insulation. 

The constructions will be on stage at the SAIE in Bari

In recent months, the construction boom has been such that "95% of companies have reached a level of orders such as to imply giving up work for the excess of requests“. In view of the SAIE in October at the Fiera del Levante in Bari, the builders are pleased to have contributed to the growth of GDP in 2022 with +3,7%. For 2023, estimates even speak of a growth of +12,4%. "The supply chain is going through a moment of great transformation, full of opportunities to be seized for the good of the sector and the country - he explained Emilio Bianchi, General Manager of SAIE – On the one hand the numbers tell the growth of many realities, on the other the need to govern this phase is growing by focusing on innovation, digitization, sustainability, training ». Until the appointment in Bari in the autumn, these will be the driver of an articulated strategy on the territory. It is an optimism that is generating new occupation and which marks a clear countertrend with respect to the previous surveys. If forecasts aren't wrong, half of companies plan to hire more in the next quarter. Will the long wave last? Certainly and it will be even more effective -says the Observatory- if there are investments, incentives and bonuses for energy efficiency. The SAIE in October will also have to intercept the demand from companies to expand their network of contacts. The central south and the Mediterranean basin are the areas where sustainable building wants to take root. There is not only the private sector in the building sector because even the funds of the PNRR can be included in the logic of the equalified diligence. The Association of Builders (NDCA) has, in fact, implemented a series of initiatives on the Public Contracts Code, judged to be the most important document for public works. The new service on the decarbonization for associated companies. In short, unexpected and "green" news from a country that is not easy.
