The construction industry plays a key role for Germany and has a major influence on economic development. However, compared to other industries, the construction industry has fallen behind in the areas of productivity, occupational safety and sustainability. This is partly due to the slow implementation of BIM (Building Information Modeling) and the low level of investment in IT and software to digitize key business processes. In addition, many existing software offerings do not meet the specific requirements of the construction industry.

In this presentation, we will show how Hilti can contribute to digital design and construction and digitalization with a new portfolio of construction software solutions.

Are you still documenting your projects manually with smartphone photos in cluttered folders only to realise later that you haven’t taken that one photo you desperately need? Do you sometimes wish you could go back in time to take another look behind an installed wall or under a laid floor? Then this session is for you!

Sander Lijbers from OpenSpace showcases practical examples on how to create a full visual representation of your project to compare progress over time as well as your current site progress to your BIM model (if you have one).

New regulations in the area of sustainability such as life cycle assessment, EU taxonomy and material building passports pose major new challenges even for highly developed BIM set-ups of major players.

The presentation will highlight current developments and shed light on solutions that will enable small and medium-sized companies to master this major task with BIM in the future.

Mandatory sustainability reporting (Corporate Sustainability Reporting| ESRS & EU Taxonomy) presents many companies with new challenges. As the largest waste producer and major consumer of resources as well as a significant CO2 emitter, the construction sector is particularly challenged here. Transparency, data and know-how as well as proactive management of the construction site are required to achieve the targets.
Using a practical example, Sebastian Pill, Managing Director of wastebox.biz, explains the role that professional waste management plays in this and what it actually takes for a construction site to actually meet all EU taxonomy criteria. Taking a few factors into account at the beginning of the construction project saves time, money and nerves - right from the start.

Stefan's masterclass will look at the challenges and opportunities that the implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) brings to the construction industry. It will address how the introduction of BIM not only means adapting to new technological tools, but also requires a change in the culture of collaboration. The participants of the presentation will gain an insight into what Adolf Würth GmbH & Co KG has to offer to change the traditional working methods and communication structures in the construction industry through the introduction of BIM.

WÜRTH CONSTRUCTION SITE PROJECT MANAGEMENT - WE MAKE BIM TANGIBLE!!!

Planning, construction and operation are often still insufficiently networked, even when it comes to digital solutions. As a result, a lot of valuable data is lost - especially during the handover from construction to operation. This masterclass provides an overview of the Nemetschek Group's intelligent solutions for the individual stages of a building project and introduces the new Nemetschek dTwin platform, which brings together data from all phases of the lifecycle of a building project in a digital twin that can be used for the operation phase, where it improves decisions through real-time insights.

A cross-sectoral approach across all process steps, the use of off-the-shelf solutions and innovative business models are essential in order to quickly, sustainably and profitably renovate the energy efficiency of a property portfolio and thus transform it for the future. In this masterclass, Bernd Beierkuhnlein, Head of Operations at SISTEMS, explains how unavoidable burdens on your "old values" offer new opportunities.

Digital technologies of the future offer the opportunity to optimize processes, use resources more efficiently and minimize environmental impact.

In the last decades we have only seen a few changes or developments in piping construction. Many jobsites are executed in traditional ways and still being welded and flanged on site.

They will explore how Augmented Reality (AR) is altering the way we visualize and interact with construction processes, seamlessly integrating formwork and scaffolding into the digital construction site. The second half of the master class is dedicated to 3D construction printing and highlights the opportunities and challenges of the technology as well as the background to the need of addressing the major questions of the construction industry with disruptive solutions.

Double the renovation rate and halve CO2 emissions. This summarizes the requirement for the German residential building stock by 2030. In order to achieve this goal, the strategic management of modernizations along the entire chain must become simpler, faster and more efficient. This is exactly where digital ecosystems and AI will help us in the future. Why wait? Take a look at what this future looks like. How such systems are already significantly reducing complexity and effort. And, above all, what economic impact they will have.

There is no alternative to implementing sustainability measures across all portfolios in order to maintain or increase real estate values. For asset managers, too, this has become existentially important for their business model. Nevertheless, asset managers' sustainability initiatives often falter, mostly due to a lack of operationalizable sustainability strategies and the efficient and cross-portfolio planning, optimization, management and implementation of specific ESG measures.
This is precisely where the ESG Alliance comes in: The ESG Alliance pursues a holistic and digital approach in order to (1) collect end-to-end sustainability
(2) evaluate the data for the development of cross-portfolio sustainability strategies and prepare it in a standardized way for reporting, and (3) manage the implementation of the strategies in line with portfolio management.
This is achieved by linking established (state-of-the-art) technology solutions in terms of content and technology to create a holistic "ESG engine" with the aim of protecting and increasing the value of real estate assets. This means that sustainability in the real estate industry is no longer a pain point, but a business case.

From many projects and more than a decade of experience along the company's own value chain, integral planning, production and construction site management processes are demonstrated from functioning BIM practice.
