Building Information Modelling 2.0 transforms construction with artificial intelligence
Powered by artificial intelligence, BIM 2.0 is transforming the way building information is created and managed—automating design, integrating dynamic data, and optimising processes in real time. This evolution is propelling the AECO sector toward smarter, more adaptive management.
EU Digital Building Stock Model update
EU Digital Building Stock Model (DBSM) R2025 reveals the true nature of Europe’s building stock: per-building data, satellite-derived attributes, and rigorous validation. A key tool for energy, housing, and urban planning policies.
Sustainable technologies transforming the sector
Alternative construction is no longer experimental: natural materials and innovative systems are becoming pillars of a more sustainable, efficient, and human-centred future for the building industry.
