Topics

The Mittelstand-Digital Center Construction aims to promote the digitization of the construction and real estate industries through networking of small and medium-sized enterprises and demonstrating practical digital applications. There are separate project offices at five regional locations, where SMEs can obtain information and gain valuable insights into the diversity of digital methods and techniques. Five main topics are the focus of the competence center:

  • Project development – even in the phase of project development, digital methods and techniques help, for example, when discussing the project with clients, other interested parties and citizens.

  • Planning – Planning on digital building models enables a high degree of security, but requires an early involvement of various disciplines and trades.

  • Construction – Modern technology and methods help with the planning of construction processes, the organization on the construction site and not least the entire logistics.

  • Craft sector – many craftsmen can benefit from digital methods and techniques as these help with order creation and processing and many other bureaucratic activities.

  • Operation – the digitization of building operation opens up new options for owners, operators, facility management and product manufacturers.
