The transformation of the construction industry creates opportunities for renewal. The rapidly changing world and market conditions require renewal in the construction industry. Development starts with understanding customers and their changing needs.
- This spring, together with our experts, we have discussed what Sitowise's strategy means for us in Buildings business area. In a challenging market situation, we need a clear and inspiring direction that springs from understanding customers and markets. The construction industry is undergoing a transformation as society undergoes significant changes and at the same time legislative changes related to sustainability and technological development shape customer needs. We need to lead the change, not just follow it, says Business Area Director Timo Räikkönen.
The Buildings business area invests in renewal, experts, sustainable growth and efficiency.
– We want to offer our experts a community where the opportunity to develop and get excited is at the core. We recognise opportunities to offer Sitowise's services extensively and actively also in new segments, such as property life cycle management, energy and industry. We invest in the efficiency and profitability of our projects and understand the potential of data and technology in business development. In this way, we will also be more prepared when the construction market begins to rise. I believe that with these themes, the Buildings business area will develop in the desired direction.

Both Milla's and Juha-Pekka's long careers, innovative attitude and experience in business development further strengthen the Building Management Team. We have a strong foundation to build, renew and grow Buildings’ business, Timo Räikkönen sums up.
