BIMExpo, the main meeting point in southern Europe for the BIM world. The implementation of the BIM methodology is a transformation opportunity for the construction sector, since it facilitates a sustainable building, is more efficient and represents cost savings of between 13 and 21% in the construction phase and between 10 and 17% in the operations phase.

However, it also has certain barriers to its full implementation, such as the need to make a significant investment in technology and training.

• Antonio Burgueño (Quality, CSR and R+D+i Director) participated in the round table on BIM, Sustainability and Circular Economy.
