This round table aims to debate the role of industrialisation in the construction industry. Providing points of view, assessing progress (fast or slow) in the industry, etc., approaching it from a sustainability, digitalisation, resource optimisation, etc., point of view. What are the benefits? Who benefits the most? Builders, developers, clients, public administration, etc? All of them? Present and future? What lies ahead? Let's look at it from the 2030 Agenda.

The dialogue will focus on bulk construction systems beyond concrete. The discussion will include two approaches where the choice of material and the implementation demonstrate that there are alternatives to standardised construction in order to reduce the carbon footprint.
