Productivity in different
industries

Productivity in Construction is Low!

Why?

Locally-based
Cost driven / Risk elimination - not particularly innovative
Project-based
Large number of stakeholders involved
Design and production separated
Weak learning
(New constellations in every project, strong loyalty to projects
low experience feedback)
Unclear ownership and control over the process
Strong institutional norms, rules and procedures
Information intensive
Digitalization is the solution!

 Benefits!
Quality
For who?
More alternative solutions optimization Architects and technical consultants
Visualizations for better understanding Contractors
and decisions Real estate companies
Better buildings, roads, railways etc Clients and end users
Economy
Better coordination through visualization
More efficient processes
Less errors in design and production
Lower resource consumption through optimization

Time
Shorter processes - increased understanding
Increased collaboration through unified information
Reduction of delays in construction and production
More efficient logistics
BIM a way of working
