Attracting talent, mitigating climate change, and improving productivity: These are the construction sector’s three main challenges. BIM and various digital tools offer useful solutions, but these are not enough.
Improving productivity by facilitating collaborative work
To make the most of digitalisation’s potential to benefit construction, it is essential to identify the right digital tools. Those that enable us to move towards a more resilient and sustainable construction model, one that is faster and more economical.
In view of this, Bouygues Construction has entered into a partnership with Dassault Systèmes, -world leader in software for industry. “We looked into the relevance of using their tools in the construction sector,” recalls Bouygues Construction’s project manager for the modernisation of trades and the PMNP platform.
“We assessed their impacts and benefits, as well the difficulties involved in their implementation. This analysis revealed that some of the tools were truly well-suited to the task of shifting the construction sector’s methods in order to meet its challenges. The first tool is CATIA, a configurable drawing software in which we can do generative design to play out thousands of scenarios… It’s very practical: all we have to do is explain to the tool how to draw, and it then draws for us. We also use the 3D experience platform, a collaborative tool that allows you to share 3D models, assign a task to someone, and follow the project schedule. In short, everyone involved in the project can work on it, make comments that can be seen by everyone else, assign a task to someone, create validation flows, and so on. Such collaborative work is a real time saver and, again, improves productivity.
