INNOVATION IN THE CONSTRUCTION
INDUSTRY JANUSZ ZALESKI, Vice-President of Polish Association of Building Managers
O
n behalf of the Polish Association of Building Managers, I would like to invite builders, designers, producers and suppliers of construction materials, machines, equipment and tools to the conference “Business Innovation as a Condition for Development and Competitiveness on the Construction Market.” The conference will be held at the Mazuria Congress Centre of Gołębiewski Hotel in the resort town of Mikołajki on November 22-23, 2018. We want those invited to come not only to listen to others, but also to present their own innovation achievements and paths towards innovation. The main manifestation of innovation on a construction site is modern technology in the mechanisation of building processes. It has a great impact on the organisation of construction works, work conditions, the pace of construction, quality of workmanship, safety at work, the company’s image and its relations with external partners and the local community.

In the face of constant labour shortages, it is absolutely necessary to improve building processes, use modern equipment, temporary structures supporting building work and self-propelled machines, manage building processes through the Internet, control construction by means of GPS markers, and check workmanship precision by means of electronic devices. Innovating in construction is a must. Such solutions as self-compacting concrete, translucent concrete, CO2eating concrete, formwork removable without the need to remove supports, and hydraulic self-climbing systems in a stationary or mobile version are just a few examples of innovative solutions. In order to keep up we have to be ready to take the risk involved in introducing innovation. The Polish Association of Building Managers is an organisation of persons with verified high professional qualifications. The mission of the Association is to bring qualifications of Polish building managers up to European standards and prepare them for conducting busi• ness activity on international markets.
