They also touched upon the issues of technical regulation and the transformation of mandatory requirements in construction into voluntary ones, and ideas for wider use of alternative design solutions were voiced. The personnel issues of the industry were not ignored either – they became the subject of discussion by the participants of the round table "Personnel decides everything".
