Umbrella organization "Building digital Switzerland" is constituted
The umbrella organization "Bauen digital Schweiz" was officially constituted and presented to the general public at Swissbau in Basel. The association has set itself the goal of supporting the Swiss construction industry in the transition to the digital age and thus maintaining its national and international competitiveness.
As an interest group, "Bauen digital Schweiz" informs and coordinates the organizations and partners of the entire "planning, supply, construction and operation" value chain. The interest group was launched in June 2015 by the SIA's Technology professional group together with buildingSMART Switzerland and the swissBIMalliance. Today, it unites 90 companies and 30 institutions along the entire value chain. With its official foundation, "Bauen digital Schweiz" now wants to herald the second phase of implementing concrete measures and establishing itself.
The board of the interest group includes Dr. Jörg Kaiser, Head of the Technical Center at Implenia. Alar Jost, BIM Manager at Implenia, is a member of the steering committee.
The most important Swiss trade fair Swissbau 2016 will take place from January 12 to 16. 1,100 exhibitors from 19 countries will present themselves on 140,000 square meters, with around 100,000 visitors expected.(ah)
