Technologies & Tools

The digital transformation of construction is powered by innovative technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and digital tools like Digital Product Passports (DPP) or Digital Building Logbooks (DBLs). While they provide significant opportunities, its adoption among SMEs—who make up over 94% of the sector—remains limited due to accessibility and cost challenges.

EBC advocates for a digital framework tailored to the realities of SMEs, emphasizing open standards, practical and affordable tools, and targeted training. By supporting SME-friendly policies for digital construction, EBC promotes a future-ready construction sector where data-driven decisions are accessible to all. EBC action aims to ensure that digital standards and tools across the construction sector support sustainable, efficient, and inclusive growth.
