We plan to enhance efficiency through centralized management from the early stages of construction projects.

Dassault Systèmes announced that it is collaborating with the consulting firm Accenture to support the acceleration of digital transformation for the global general construction company Bouygues Construction. Bouygues Construction plans to enhance corporate efficiency through seamless, centralized management from the initial to the final stages of each construction project.

This project is part of Bouygues Construction's previously introduced Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology, technology integration framework, and end-to-end efficiency innovation process for construction operations, and supports the expansion of the company's industrial operations sector and seamless collaboration with supply chain partners.

The three companies agreed to build a digital work environment based on the Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform, which is already widely used in various industrial sectors such as the automotive and aerospace industries, for the successful completion of the project. Through this, it is expected that the smooth management of integrated construction projects will be possible through the various benefits of 3DEXPERIENCE, such as ▲ centralization of information on the overall project lifecycle from design to operation, ▲ smooth information sharing between internal and external stakeholders, and ▲ an efficient operating environment through the use of standardized processes.

Philippe Bonavé, Chairman and CEO of Bouygues Construction, stated, “This project, based on collaboration with Dassault Systèmes and Accenture, signifies the business modernization of Bouygues Construction and will bring about fundamental changes to the company.” He further explained, “By providing a digital work platform to internal employees and the supply chain and increasing the utilization of project data across the entire company, we will enhance corporate efficiency and meet the high expectations of Bouygues Construction’s customers.”

Bernard Charlès, CEO of Dassault Systèmes, stated, “Smart and sustainable cities involve complex network systems that require a new way of thinking in the construction industry.” He explained, “The 3DEXPERIENCE platform will support Bouygues Construction in becoming a leader in the construction industry by providing opportunities for efficient resource utilization, construction cost reduction, seamless collaboration among designers, builders, and construction operators, and the integration of the value creation chain. We will do our utmost to ensure that Bouygues Construction establishes new standards of efficiency in the construction industry through mutual data exchange between the virtual and real worlds, and realizes all the business value that can be obtained through digital transformation.”
