Koninklijke Heijmans says years-long public spending on housing, infrastructure, the power grid, and defense sites could keep work flowing and make results less bumpy. The big question is whether tougher, more technical projects and new factory-style building methods deliver the promised payoff—or lead to delays and costly hiccups.Read more
