The question of why the industry has not been seen to be innovative has created concern among many involved with construction and property. The driving concern is where the motivation for this innovation should come from. Although construction clients have made an impact in this area, the industry itself seems divided as to whether, when and where clients should drive the innovation process.Clients Driving Innovation brings together an international group BuildingTechnological innovationsConstruction industryCustomer servicesCustomer relationsConsumer satisfactionProduction planningBuildingTechnological innovations.Construction industryCustomer services.Customer relations.Consumer satisfaction.Production planning.690.068/8690.0688Brandon P.
