The Constructivist Episode 2: Markus Weigold on the productivity challenge in housing

16 Jun 2026, by All3

Germany issues housing permits it doesn't build. Markus Weigold, Partner at Drees & Sommer, argues the gap isn't about demand - it's declining productivity colliding with rising requirements.

Weigold speaks with Wulf von Borzyskowski in episode 2 of The Constructivist about the pressures shaping residential construction today - and what it would take to move projects from planning into production.

Markus Weigold is a Partner at Drees & Sommer, responsible for the Berlin-Brandenburg region, where he works with public and private-sector clients on site and district transformation.

The conversation covers standardisation without losing architectural quality, timber construction, low-tech solutions, AI and robotics.
