The economic impact of construction defects: an unsustainable cost
The conference is the result of the help of Maggioli Editore, who over a decade ago recognized and deepened the question of construction anomalies as a fundamental element of the discussion between technical operators, public bodies, manufacturers and bearers, including the population that lives, operates and creates value inside the buildings.
The cost of building problems He is on the national system in a significant way: considering postponements, legal disputes and corrective operations, estimates indicate that annually in our country yes disperse resources for 14 billioncorresponding to 10% of the overall turnover of the construction sector.
As highlighted by the scientific coordinator of the event, Marco Argiolasspecialist in building pathology, this amount is equivalent to the revenues of the entire national wine sector, highlighting how critical it is to deal with this problem with decision.
During the interventions, it emerged repeatedly as the adoption of a preventive approach can reduce these costsfreeing precious resources for the qualitative improvement of the Italian building heritage and accelerating the transition to higher construction standards.
Towards a future of healthy constructions
CONAPE marks the start of a “movement” that has long been catalyzed attention on an alarming phenomenon that requires management and solution: the anticipation of problems and gradually the elimination of building pathologies constitute challenging goals But essential to ensure, similarly to energy optimization and structural solidity, healthy and functional contexts.
The exhibition space has given visibility to realities such as Mitsubishi Electric, Volteco, Rina Prime, Kerakoll, Systab and Icobit, who have presented the most recent innovations, demonstrating how technology can offer Concrete solutions for a more resilient and lasting construction.
CONAPE has been sponsored by: the orders of the engineers and architects of Bologna and the Province, the College of Surveyors and Industrial Experts, Antel, Indep, ISI, Assorestauro, the Association of Surveyor Women, the Association of experts of healthy buildings and the association of expert Radon interventions.
The enthusiasm expressed by the participants was reflected in the numerous professional exchanges that occurred during the Networking moments.
Appointment at the next edition of the Conape
The success generated by this first edition has already laid the foundations for the next appointment Conape which promises to be even richer in content and participants.
The first Conape is not a point of arrival but the beginning of a path that will see the growing involvement of all the actors of the supply chain, with the aim of radically transforming the approach to building pathologies in Italy. In the meantime, the activities of Training and dissemination Promoted by the group, through specialized publications, thematic webinars and professional refresher courses, to keep the attention high on this crucial theme and prepare the ground for the innovations that will be presented in the next edition of the conference.
