The biggest challenges for investors in current residential construction

Investors in the residential construction sector are currently facing key challenges that affect their planning and profitability. The market demands innovative approaches and strategic solutions.
Higher interest rates

Higher interest rates reduce returns and increase financing costs, making many projects unprofitable.

Expensive building materials

The continuously rising prices of materials such as steel, wood and concrete make reliable project costing difficult.

Lengthy authorisation procedures

The complex bureaucratic processes delay the start of projects and significantly increase project costs.

Sustainability requirements

ESG criteria are essential, but increase construction costs and present investors with technical challenges.

High land prices

Attractive building land in cities is scarce and expensive, which often limits the profitability of projects.

CILG Congress as Kick-Off

At the CILG conference on 27 November 2024 in Düsseldorf, leading experts from politics and business presented key theses on how to overcome the challenges facing residential construction. These guidelines show how a combination of innovation, collaboration and sustainability can transform the industry.
