For owners & builders

Model construction processes true to life

With a data-based digital twin of your project you spot design gaps, bottlenecks and extra costs before the first excavator moves. You get your construction process as a model that calculates, not as a film that plays. Fewer change orders, more transparency and full control over every decision.

Your benefit

What you gain as an owner

Our customers named these as the benefits of construction process simulation that matter most to them.

01

Fewer change orders

Change orders rarely originate on site. They originate where the construction process and the logistics are only planned as building proceeds. In the model, design gaps, time pressure and confined space become visible beforehand — not first on the final account.

02

Stay on schedule

Critical processes, dependencies and bottlenecks are identified and resolved early — so your project stays predictable and deadlines are reliably met.

03

Site logistics under control

Material flow, design changes and timing are run through. Better planning saves you extra costs, for instance on waste removal and deliveries.

04

Feasibility & alternatives

Check feasibility and test execution variants in the model without consequences, before you spend any money.

05

Faster approvals

Anyone who sees the construction process no longer needs it explained. Because processes are shown as they will actually run, everyone assesses the same plan and approvals come through faster.

06

Keep transparency & control

Iterative, dynamic planning: you steer your project on the basis of sound scenarios and stay in control at all times.

“With dProB we can reduce the disruption our customers experience from construction sites and simulate construction processes in detail. That avoids risks and lets us optimize processes together with our construction partners.”

The principle

The earlier simulation enters the project, the greater the benefit.

What is at stake without simulation
Overrun possessions and deadlines — delay that runs through the entire construction process.
Snap decisions under time pressure straight on site — with no sound basis.
Avoidable change orders and extra costs that only become visible during construction.
Conflicts and standstill because dependencies and bottlenecks are spotted too late.
Two routes to the goal

Software or service — you decide

Whether you simulate yourself or take construction process simulation from our process experts — both routes lead to robust construction processes you can run through.
