Increasing resource efficiency in times of ecological reconstruction

Current project examples such as the HAUT in Amsterdam (wooden high-rise) and many other hybrid project developments show the possibilities at present and in the future to create a new awareness about material selection and processes in the context of construction projects in the design & build process.

What makes construction site logistics so special and where are the differences to classic site logistics? André Käber, CEO of leogistics GmbH, gets to the bottom of this question in his presentation "Increasing efficiency in construction site logistics through digitization". Based on the two use cases "classic construction site logistics" and "construction site logistics in a closed factory area", he describes the challenges and special features as well as the most important potential for increasing efficiency. These include safe access, better planning, precise timing of deliveries, shorter traffic jams and the relevance of digital site managers. Depending on the specific construction site situation, the dynamic mapping of a construction site based on time and physical parameters through the use of time slot and yard management is essential.

With OneStop Pro construction companies can significantly resonate their employees, improve their processes due to digital solutions, and are able to save time for the really important things. Case Study: FAHRNER Bauunternehmen

The amount of investments, extended operating cycles with long capital commitment or inventory management are just some of the reasons for delayed transformation until financial resources are available again. With the help of transparent liquidity planning, liquidity bottlenecks can be identified and counteracted at an early stage. Learn from Tom Eller which five cash flow challenges occur in the manufacturing industry and which optimization approaches can be helpful for you.

On construction sites, who usually run for month or even years, a cable based internet connectivity is often not possible. Nevertheless, the connectivity must be available any time to secure the operations and a stable and smooth project progress. The connectivity is essential for several reasons, e.g. access to construction plans, material planning and ordering, access to plotter data or connectivity of IoT sensors. In this presentation you learn how to connect a construction site without hassle via 4G/5G from day one - easy, secure, professional and performant.

Daily work on construction sites carries numerous risks and challenges for employees. We discuss how digital solutions support the organisation, implementation and documentation of necessary occupational health and safety measures while ensuring a safe working environment and effective risk management.

The high-performance, resource-efficient, intelligent and well-designed buildings and infrastructures we will need in the future will require great specialist know-how and much closer interaction between all players. Prerequisites include end-to-end information flows and integrated working. ConTech and its innovative IT solutions can drive the trends of the future.

The only renewable building material is supposed to save the climate change in construction. The modular timber construction method shows many advantages, but it must also receive support from the state and in the approval authorities. "Otherwise, we will not achieve a broad-based timber construction in Germany," says Sun Jensch, coordinator of the COALITION for WOOD CONSTRUCTION. Lorenz Nagel (PRIMUS development GmbH) and Sun Jensch (DAPB | Deutsche Agentur für Politikberatung GmbH) go over the pros and cons and, of course, the feasibilities of timber construction. Starting with the processes, the construction costs and the manufacturers.

Karin Loosen and Daniel Mondino shed light on what the cross-cutting issue of digitization in design and construction means for architects in a number of key theses and a more in-depth discussion. The importance of the profession, which has always worked in a generalist manner, becomes just as clear as the fact that digitization must never be an end in itself, but must be applied as process optimization in order to promote the quality of a project in terms of costs, deadlines, aesthetics, sustainability and operation.

Digital processes have long since replaced analog processes within individual companies. However, there is a lack of overlap. For the time being. Because the next revolutionary step is just around the corner for the construction industry: the switch to shared digital platforms. In his presentation, Nils Klose uses the example of Schüttflix to explain the seven advantages that platforms bring to the entire industry.

How does digitalisation succeed in a traditional medium-sized company? What role does sustainability play in this? What solutions are there to benefit from the generational shift? We look forward to the joint exchange.
