About Event

Building Better: What's Next for Construction Productivity?

In 2017, McKinsey Global Institute published Reinventing Construction: A Route to Higher Productivity, a report that many in the industry will recognise. McKinsey has since revisited their findings, and at this event they will share what has happened from 2017 to today and what they now believe will drive productivity gains going forward.

StartupLab invites you to an industry morning bringing together researchers, corporate leaders and startups to explore where the construction industry stands today and what the road ahead looks like.
