About us
The members of BVBS Bundesverband Software und Digitalisierung im Bauwesen e.V. are software companies and IT service providers that cover the disciplines within architecture, civil engineering, specialist planning, construction, manufacturing and IT services.
Since the association was founded in September 1993, our members, leading software and IT companies, have been pursuing a common goal: to strengthen the performance and innovative power of the construction industry through the use of construction software. Here is an overview of the BVBS’s vision and mission .
The BVBS represents the interests of more than 140 member companies. Planning, building, operating and dismantling — throughout the entire life cycle of a building, the right software helps to work in a structured manner, avoid errors, improve sustainability in the construction industry and meet deadlines and cost targets.
What we do
We bundle the energy of our members to make construction more efficient, create and offer extensive networks to all relevant stakeholders including the political landscape, promote the exchange of information between all market participants and the development of new technologies for the construction industry. We place great emphasis on the development of quality standards and their certification. BVBS regularly develops data standards and data exchange procedures.
We have played a key role in inventing and organising construction trade fairs for the IT sector (BAU Munich and digitalBAU Cologne) digitalBau Colognefor many years. Through our extensive network of market partners, associations, political institutions and specialist bodies, BVBS promotes proactive cooperation between its members and all market participants.
We are committed to fair competition and therefore provide a guide, that offers guidance on how to behave in accordance with antitrust law.
