We are dri­ving digitalisation

The right con­s­truc­tion soft­ware sup­ports users throug­hout the enti­re life cycle of a buil­ding — from plan­ning and con­s­truc­tion to ope­ra­ti­on and dis­mant­ling. It makes a las­ting con­tri­bu­ti­on to ensu­ring that they can work in a struc­tu­red man­ner, avo­id errors and meet dead­lines and cost tar­gets. The BVBS Bun­des­ver­band Soft­ware und Digi­ta­li­sie­rung im Bau­we­sen e. V. is the industry’s think tank. We pool expert know­ledge and now unite over 125 lea­ding soft­ware and IT com­pa­nies from the enti­re con­s­truc­tion indus­try. Sin­ce the asso­cia­ti­on was foun­ded in Sep­tem­ber 1993, we have pur­sued a com­mon goal: to fos­ter the per­for­mance and inno­va­ti­ve power of the con­s­truc­tion indus­try through end-to-end digi­ta­li­sa­ti­on and auto­ma­ti­on in the con­s­truc­tion sector.

Our tasks

As an asso­cia­ti­on, the ongo­ing deve­lo­p­ment of gene­ral­ly appli­ca­ble stan­dards and norms is just as important to us as our invol­vement in poli­ti­cal deve­lo­p­ments rela­ting to the con­s­truc­tion sec­tor. We pro­mo­te the exch­an­ge of infor­ma­ti­on among all mar­ket par­ti­ci­pan­ts and are signi­fi­cant­ly invol­ved in the orga­ni­sa­ti­on of con­s­truc­tion trade fairs for the IT sec­tor. We focus on the deve­lo­p­ment of qua­li­ty stan­dards, their cer­ti­fi­ca­ti­on and the joint deve­lo­p­ment of data stan­dards and data exch­an­ge procedures.

Our mem­bers

BVBS mem­bers are soft­ware com­pa­nies and IT ser­vice pro­vi­ders. They repre­sent the fields of archi­tec­tu­re, civil engi­nee­ring, spe­cia­li­sed plan­ning, con­s­truc­tion, manu­fac­tu­ring and IT services.

What our mem­bers say

A Mem­ber­ship of BVBS pays off. Read what moti­va­ted our mem­bers to join our association:

„The spe­cial thing about BVBS is, that a posi­ti­ve exch­an­ge and pro­duc­ti­ve coope­ra­ti­on bet­ween com­pe­ti­tors is pos­si­ble for the bene­fit of the enti­re indus­try and thus influen­ces norms and standards.”

The use of dyna­mic con­s­truc­tion data in the com­plex pro­cess of plan­ning, con­s­truc­tion and ope­ra­ti­on is car­ri­ed out across all soft­ware and based on a divi­si­on of labor. A stan­dar­di­zed exch­an­ge of data is essen­ti­al here. We are invol­ved in the BVBS to pro­mo­te this tog­e­ther with the con­s­truc­tion soft­ware indus­try.
