Bouygues & Dassault Speed Up Digital Transformation in Construction

Dassault Systèmes and Bouygues Construction have announced the renewal of their strategic partnership seeking to open new horizons in the construction industry. The three-year renewal will accelerate the research and development of cloud-based and mobile-enabled systemic and modular approaches to transform the industry’s multiscale, fragmented ecosystems and address its sustainability challenges. The two companies will primarily focus on the capacity provided by Dassault Systèmes’ 3D experience platform to collaborate throughout the lifecycle of a project as well as to create and model product lines, where interactions with developers, architects, subcontractors, suppliers, customers and operating companies are simplified and streamlined. The platform delivers capabilities for collaboration and innovation to on-site workers that will federate a project’s entire ecosystem. The creation of a construction virtual twin will serve from design to operation by helping to industrialize project management. Upstream of the value chain, this approach makes it possible to achieve the most appropriate design on the basis of the way the building is used. Processes can then be industrialized, anticipating the various phases of a project at the earliest possible stage and planning their on-site implementation in the finest detail. Energy savings and new field tracing and execution practices for waste management will be made possible. Ultimately, a broad portfolio of tailor-made, qualitative functionalities aims to increase productivity in the field, improve quality, reduce errors, facilitate compliance with new sustainability standards and enable greater predictability on project delivery. To achieve this, three industry solution experiences based on Dassault Systèmes’ 3D experience platform will be applied to the construction sector: “Integrated Built Environment,” “Inclusive Urban Future” and “Building Design for Fabrication.”
