'Construction 2020'

From the 'National Building News Magazine'
Key issues addressed for the future:
-sustainable development
-business and working environment
-design and communication
-process and manufacture

Also, highlights the importance of research and innovation in the construction industry geared towards these issues. Personally it seems desirable to have overshadowing research over such a broad and diverse industry. It would be good to establish some grounding principles, such as sustainable development.
The proposed research is also focused towards gained Australian construction an international international edge and competition in a business sense.
Therefore, I am a bit sceptic as well, at the broad aims of this research move, that appear to want to please too many people but could end up being contradictory
