Building a Better World

Buildings are essential—they shape our cities, define our skylines, and impact our daily lives. With over 90% of our time spent indoors, the design and quality of these spaces profoundly affect our health, well-being, and productivity. Yet, despite its importance, the construction industry remains one of the least digitized sectors, with just 1% productivity growth over the past two decades—while also being responsible for 40% of global emissions.

With forecasts predicting the equivalent of a new New York City built every month until 2030, the industry faces mounting challenges. With numerous stakeholders, complex product dependencies, cost overruns, and tightening climate regulations, managing construction projects has become more difficult.

The BIMobject Group, a company that, through its platform bim.com and other solutions like the digital product library bimobject.com and building project platform prodikt.com, has become a frontrunner in enabling the transition to happen.

In this CBS News documentary Economy 4.0: Building a Better World, BIMobject Group is joined by industry leaders to discuss how sustainability and technology are shaping the future of construction. Featuring insights from Linda Källén (CBRE Sweden), Sebastiaan Stiller (EPD International), and Filip Elland (Castellum), this documentary explores the urgent need for digital transformation, improved efficiency, and climate action.
