How do you see the adoption of BIM and digital twins evolving in the Indian market over the next five years?
The adoption of BIM and digital twins over the next five years in the Indian market will rise sharply as there is a powerful thrust toward digital transformation and sustainability. Nemetschek India has strategically placed itself to service this requirement with customise package solutions such as Nemetschek BIM Concept, Nemetschek BIM Create, and Nemetschek BIM Construct which club some of product brands which will suit all stakeholders from architects, engineering companies, PMC, and contractors based on their project specific need & add value towards the whole processes in construction project execution. That accesses it around the entire construction ecosystem. Our ethical AI approach makes our solution offering more sustainable. Our cloud-based dTwin platform is a game-changer for the Indian market because it offers platform-agnostic capabilities in handling any form of data capture. With its predictive analysis of energy consumption and CO2, dTwin enables asset owners and contractors to make smart decisions to improve efficiency and sustainability. As the construction industry in India adopts more advanced technologies, BIM and digital twins will become part of this industry, along with the innovation that supports sustainable development goals for the country.
How is Nemetschek leveraging generative AI to enhance design and construction processes? Can you provide specific examples of how this technology has been implemented successfully?
Nemetschek is revolutionizing the way designs are made and built through generative AI as it infuses capabilities throughout all BIM solutions with AI strength. This possibility opens up auto-generation of the optimised designs based on some set criteria like sustainability, cost efficiency, and structural integrity. The fact that using cloud computing can have AI models synced and collaborated in real-time to have the effect of higher efficiency, free of possible error in construction and the design phase. Nemetschek is committed in this aspect and created a dedicated AI hub which make research on best practices of using ethical AI for the whole product offering from group level.
Automated Design Generation:
Nemetschek's flagship BIM authoring software, Archicad, incorporates generative design capabilities. Architects can input design goals and constraints, and the AI algorithm generates multiple design options that meet the specified criteria. This accelerates the design process and helps explore a wider range of possibilities.
Vectorworks, another flagship product brand of Nemetschek uses AI to analyze project requirements and suggest optimal materials based on factors like sustainability, cost, and performance. This automation streamlines the material selection process and ensures informed decision-making.
As generative AI technology continues to evolve, Nemetschek Group is committed to staying at the forefront of innovation, providing its customers with cutting-edge tools to transform the design and construction industry.
How do you see the current infrastructure development in India influencing the demand for advanced digital solutions like those offered by Nemetschek?
Infrastructure in India is in a full-scale transformation, which is creating a great demand for advanced digital solutions. To myself and the entire Nemetschek Group, this presents a good opportunity to drive innovation in the AEC sector. The two pillars are central to our approach. We are fully committed to providing flexible and responsive integrated solutions to the constantly evolving needs of the market through strong collaboration among all our brands.

This puts us at a strategic vantage point concerning the growing demand for advanced AEC solutions in the rapid infusion into India's infrastructure landscape. We are truly committed to Shape the India’s construction growth story.
Sustainability is a critical concern in the construction industry. How does Nemetschek’s technology contribute to more sustainable building practices and energy-efficient designs?
The technology provided by the Nemetschek Group sustains the future of the construction business with digital solutions enhancing energy efficiency and reducing the impacts of environmental parameters. Our solutions cover major drivers of sustainability such as waste reduction, energy simulation, and energy-efficient designs. We make available built-in material palettes to guide users in making sustainable decisions, indoor environment quality mapping, smart building applications, and automated site planning with checks on the designs. Our software solutions – Vectorworks, Archicad, RISA, Allplan, SDS2, Bluebeam, and Solibri, among others – assist customers in working proficiently on the ‘OPEN BIM’ platform. Such an integration thus ensures that the project meets the credentials of sustainable building with cloud collaboration, automation, and remote working. High-end digital tools that have been integrated by the technology of Nemetschek, empower architects and engineers to design energy-efficient buildings with intelligent construction workflows that build a smarter future for the built environment. We are making efforts locally to support Indian Green Building Congress towards the green revolution in India.
What are Nemetschek’s strategic goals for the Indian market in the coming years, and how do you plan to achieve them?
With our recent introduction to commercial offerings, Nemetschek Group has made a significant commitment to the Indian market. Our future includes growing our market presence, adapting our products to local needs, promoting digital advancements, and prioritizing sustainable solutions. We will aggressively compete in the Indian Construction Technology space and contribute positively to the country's sustainable development process. We are here to offer an alternative BIM enablement solutions which understand customer need, reduce adoption cost & increase efficiency. We are here to stand against any monopolistic approach and stand by with Indian customers need. We are also now announcing our unique digital twin solutions, "dTwin". This cloud-based SAAS solution will be platform agnostic when imprinting any data file, a point cloud, 3D models or simply a DOC file. Our twin platform will be very handy for the owners of assets and contractors to be able to identify the utilization of their assets and have a predictive analysis of energy consumption or CO2 or any form of data analysis.
