  problemStatement={{
    title: "The reality on many construction sites",
    text: "Cheap providers are increasingly being used on many construction sites. Safety standards and documentation requirements are often ignored. This results in accidents, damaged external lines (electricity, water, gas, etc.), and expensive construction delays, meaning a supposed bargain turns out to be a cost trap."
