Bouygues Construction & Dassault Systèmes expand their partnership

Bouygues Construction and Dassault Systèmes reinforce their commitment to reinvent the construction industry.

Bouygues Construction and Dassault Systèmes announced the renewal of their strategic partnership seeking to open new horizons in the construction industry. 

The three-year renewal will accelerate the research and development of cloud-based and mobile-enabled systemic and modular approaches to transform the industry’s multiscale, fragmented ecosystems and address its sustainability challenges. 

The two companies will primarily focus on the capacity provided by Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform to collaborate throughout the lifecycle of a project as well as to create and model product lines, where interactions with developers, architects, subcontractors, suppliers, customers and operating companies are simplified and streamlined. The platform delivers capabilities for collaboration and innovation to on-site workers that will federate a project’s entire ecosystem. 

The creation of a construction virtual twin will serve from design to operation by helping to industrialize project management. Processes can then be industrialized, anticipating the various phases of a project at the earliest possible stage and planning their on-site implementation. Energy savings and new field tracing and execution practices for waste management will be made possible. 

Philippe Bonnave, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Bouygues Construction, said:

“Through our partnership with Dassault Systèmes, we are taking a different approach to developing the way we construct for our customers’ benefit, and potentially to improving how the sector addresses environmental challenges. This revolution can only be achieved by involving all project stakeholders in the creation of a virtual twin. Such a high level of collaboration calls for a single digital platform that will bring this ecosystem together.” 

Bernard Charlès, Vice Chairman and CEO, Dassault Systèmes, said:

“We are convinced that a renaissance of the construction industry is possible – one that will make it more sustainable and more affordable. This new level of integration will reduce waste and enable the construction life cycle by providing new capabilities to site workers to collaborate and innovate. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is providing a new generation of cloud-based, mobile-enabled virtual twin experiences to construction.”
