Faced with economic uncertainties around the world, many global design and construction firms in the buildings sector have struggled to find a steady stream of opportunities, but some are cautiously optimistic that conditions are improving.
Skanska AB reported a 3% drop in revenue between January and September of this year, compared to the same period in 2015. “Even though a majority of our construction units are performing well, we are not satisfied with the performance in the construction stream, and we are working hard to improve the situation,” says Johan Karlström, president and CEO.
