Decision Making In the Construcion Industry

Over the last decade, the role of the architects in the construction process has been slowly but steadily changing. Where in the past the architect was the ‘ master builder’  fully in control of the entire design process, we see that the decision making has become more fractured and more stakeholders (like main contractors and building owners) are involved in the process earlier.

To understand and map out the changes in decision making from an architectural perspective, we cover this topic once every so often in the European architectural barometer, a quarterly study based on 1.000 successful telephone interviews with architects in 8 European countries.

The full report will provide key insights on the decision making process from an architectural perspective. Who are the other key stakeholders? What is their influence on material and brand choices? Or for technical specifications and structural design? And how does this differ per product groups?

Besides this vital information, you will also find our prognoses for the future building volumes for 2023 in this report.
