Our colleague Markus Boden secured 1st place in the Construction Business Administration category with his master’s thesis titled "Digitization Under Review: Digital Maturity Assessments for BIM in Infrastructure."
In the competition "Built on IT – Construction Professions with a Future", digital solutions developed by young construction talents have been awarded annually since 2002. Once again this year, the diverse range of submissions demonstrates how emerging talent in the construction industry is shaping the sector's future through the application of digital methods and artificial intelligence.
Following a practical talk with former winner Dilan Glanz, CEO of SURAP GmbH, Dipl.-Vw. Ullrike Blankenfeld from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) and Dipl.-Betriebswirt Ingo Reifgerste, Chairman of the RKW e.V. board, Chair of the RG-Bau Advisory Board, and Managing Partner of Schleiff Bauflächentechnik GmbH & Co. KG, presented the awards to this year’s winners in front of an audience of around 150. The competition recognized outstanding work in the fields of architecture, construction business administration, civil engineering, as well as crafts and technology. Additionally, the "Start-up Special Award" was presented again this year. The special award from Ed. Züblin AG was handed over by Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Torsten Henßler, Representative for BIM & Digitalisation at Ed. Züblin AG.
"The motivated young professionals never cease to impress us with their creative approaches in this demanding competition. Their work ranges from the digitization of individual processes to the application of AI on construction sites and innovative solutions for the sustainable transformation of the industry," said Jens Nagel, Managing Director of the RKW Competence Center.
The competition, initiated by the RKW Competence Center in 2002, is held under the patronage of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK). It is supported by the construction industry’s social partnerships as well as numerous sponsors and media partners.
