Key current legislation for construction.

  • comparison of changes
  • progress
  • continuously updated content

The next competitive advantage in construction will come from anticipating regulation.

Example: a change in environmental regulation reduced the value of reserves

  • A change in the distance requirements in a regulation related to aggregate extraction directly affected the future reserves of aggregate companies.
  • For many companies this meant significant write downs.
  • Those operators who identified the change in time were able to reduce the impact before the regulation entered into force.

Example: carbon footprint legislation changed the construction materials market

  • Emission steering in construction and carbon footprint requirements quickly made low emission cements a competitive advantage.
  • Companies that started product development before the legislation entered into force were able to capture market share ahead of others.
  • Rakentajan Lakitutka helps identify such changes before they become mandatory.
