The revised Construction Products Regulation, 2024/3110, changed how construction products are declared, tested, and traced. Here's what actually changed, and when.

A door in one model and a doorset in another should mean the same thing to a computer. This is the quiet standard that makes that true.

Projects fail not because they lack technology, but because they lack process. In this article, we break down six uncomfortable truths about Common Data Environments, based on ISO 19650, from why workflow must precede software, to the metadata that actually makes a CDE "common," to why a true single source of truth remains out of reach for most platforms today.

Declarations, EPDs, and safety data sheets live scattered across thousands of PDFs. The Digital Product Passport is meant to replace that with one machine-readable source of truth, family by family.

EU Green Deal for construction explained: key EPBD and CPR requirements, renovation targets, zero-emission buildings and important deadlines for 2026-2030.

In 2026, multi-agent AI in BIM means automated triage, not autonomous design. Here's what a real workflow looks like, and where the accountability risk sits.

A BEP isn't a bid document to file away. Learn what a real BIM Execution Plan requires: KPIs, ISO 19650 status codes, roles, and QC that hold up legally.

You hit "Export to IFC" and the model comes back broken, walls lose their intelligence, geometry turns into dumb shapes. In this article, we break down what IFC actually is beneath the file extension: the four-layer schema structure, why IFC is built for one-way exchange rather than round-trip editing, what makes an IfcWall smarter than a shape, and how to avoid the dreaded generic "Proxy" export.

Projects fail not because they lack technology, but because they lack process. In this article, we break down six uncomfortable truths about Common Data Environments, based on ISO 19650, from why workflow must precede software, to the metadata that actually makes a CDE "common," to why a true single source of truth remains out of reach for most platforms today.

Knowing ESPR and CPR is only 10% of the work. Learn what skills BIM Managers, Product Managers, and Compliance teams actually need for DPP implementation.

AI for BIM isn't about replacing architects. Learn what's actually changing: prompting, hidden costs, the skills gap, and climate-ready design.

The Digital Product Passport is a structural change in how construction products access the EU market, governed by two overlapping regulations: ESPR and the Construction Products Regulation (CPR 2024/3110). In this article, we break down the 8 mandatory data fields, why your existing EPD only gets you 70-80% of the way there, the real bottleneck manufacturers face (data, not QR codes), and a realistic 5-step implementation plan, plus honest, appropriately-hedged deadline estimates instead of a single overconfident date.

BIM fatigue" usually comes from treating ISO 19650 as a 3D modeling rulebook, but it isn't one. In this article, we break down what the standard actually requires: managing every information container (not just models), active client governance, the "Level of Information Need" that prevents data overload, what actually qualifies as a Common Data Environment, and how the Project and Asset Information Models connect across a building's whole life cycle.

The construction industry is racing to adopt AI, but adoption is outpacing competence. In this article, we break down the AI readiness paradox, why "automation bias" is creating a quiet accountability crisis on job sites, the new RICS professional standard on responsible AI use, and what actually separates firms that capture real ROI from those left with a costly blind spot in their risk register.

Modern construction firms keep hitting the same walls: project delays, budget overruns, coordination chaos, despite expensive BIM software. In this article, we break down five counter-intuitive truths that separate high-performance BIM from an expensive digital archive: clash avoidance over clash detection, minimum viable data over data bloat, active BIM servers over disguised file servers, and open standards over isolated tools.

The EU's central Digital Product Passport registry officially went live on 20 July 2026, just days after a separate ban on destroying unsold clothing took effect for large companies. In this article, we break down what a Digital Product Passport actually is, why the EU built it instead of relying on existing fraud laws, the real compliance deadlines through 2031, which products are exempt, and what manufacturers should be doing right now to prepare.

Most "BIM Ready" claims are unverified assumptions, not proven facts. In this article, we break down a data-driven framework for measuring what your team can actually deliver on-site, covering the "illusion of knowledge," the Individual Competency Index, and how to verify competency instead of just trusting job titles and CVs.

AI is reshaping construction through generative scheduling, data stewardship, and new ethical standards. 5 key takeaways from our TylkoTALK conversation.

buildingSMART Foundation is the entry point into the world's most recognized openBIM certification framework — but is it worth the time and the exam fee? In this article, we break down what the Foundation certification actually covers, why it matters for both individuals and companies, and the practical things to know before you sit the 30-minute, 25-question exam.
