WHAT DISTINGUISHES US FROM OTHER INDUSTRIES

• We dont make widgets
• We participate in construction projects
• Structures are designed by engineers, architects
  and others
• Each structure (and virtually each element of
  each structure) is unique
• Projects typically large, take a long time
• Relatively small capital investment to create one
  job

19
WHAT DISTINGUISHES US FROM REST OF CONSTRUCTION
SECTOR

• Elements made in workshop, assembled on site
• Safer, healthier, better trained and better paid
  jobs
• Computers play a bigger role in our lives (more
  knowledge intensive)

20
WHAT MAKES THE INDUSTRY IMPORTANT

• 40 of all steel used in construction
• About 2 m tons per year
• 80 000 people employed
• Key enabling industry have to have structure in
  place before machines can be places etc - without
  structural steel industry, cant have other
  industries
• Green social, economic, environment

21
World class industry

• Materials control systems
• Engineering and draughting
• Health, safety and the environment
• Quality assurance
• Competitive
• Past 3 years huge investment in new equipment,
  software, training

22
An industry looking forward
23
