BIM & DIGITAL SERVICES
Real estate and construction sector jobs are going through a technological revolution, one intrinsically linked to a cultural shift in the component parts of both industries. Today, the challenges they have to deal with in terms of performance, optimising costs and risk management are unprecedented.
These new requirements call on all the players to look to other industries for inspiration as regards integrated processes and digital tools for improving performance. Thanks to these more sophisticated methods, it is already easier to overcome the barriers that used to be represented by expertise, and generate a whole new way of creating value by connecting data and services.
The Builders & Partners group proposes one of the most comprehensive product portfolios on the market, not only in terms of Bim and data management services, but also in the form of Sofya, a unique solution for steering construction projects and operating buildings.

What they say
GUILLAUME JUNQUA,
Director, BIM end Data Management
At Builders & Partners, we put digitisation at the heart of our work, not as an add-on or afterthought, but as an invaluable aid to human intelligence and creativity. The future of our professions lies in digital, not only to improve performance, but also as a source of appeal to attract new graduates into the industry. Reinjecting real estate and the construction industry with a character of innovation is key to the survival of a sector under threat by a dearth of talent.
Convinced of that fact, we attach great importance to providing our teams with training in digital professions.
PIERRE BOUTELOUP,
CTO SOFYA
The way in which Sofya rethinks asset management is the fruit of interaction with industry professionals, which has, moreover, informed its whole development. Today, it is a unique tool for stakeholders in operation and maintenance, from property managers to facility managers. Everyone, starting with the asset manager, has a global vision of their portfolio and of each one of their assets, adapted to suit their interface requirements. Sofya makes it possible to keep the full history of a portfolio, to enrich it, to organise its daily management and to coordinate the activity of the stakeholders in the operation. It is our pragmatic view of the trade which has enabled us to achieve our greatest success, including, for example, the operation of the Duo Towers.
