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!

towards digitalization

….and that is BIM

 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
