Procurement optimisation construction industry
The risk of insolvency in the construction industry is significantly higher than in other sectors. Ironically, construction companies generate the lowest returns of all parties involved in construction, with profit margins between 1% and 4%. The cause is intense price competition, exacerbated by the need to keep staff and machinery utilised. Consequently, many focus too much on new orders and too little on increasing profit margins by optimising calculations and procurement.
