Lauri Tuulberg, CEO of Welement
Prefabricated Craftsmanship
The construction industry is facing huge problems. Productivity is low, there is a lack of skilled labor and it is a major contributor to the facing climate disaster. To meet the growing demand and lower the cost, we need to build more with less time. But can digital tools and automation solve the problem or do we need to rethink how we approach the whole value chain? Does it make sense to bring robots to the construction site, and will automation drive out skilled craftsmen?
Studied Industrial Engineering and Logistics Management at Hong Kong University and Civil Engineering at TalTech. Has worked as a site engineer and project manager on projects ranging from large-scale apartment buildings to tunnels and private villas. Been part of real estate development projects from preliminary architectural design to client hand-over and ownership stages. For the past 5 years mostly been involved with managing Welement AS.
