Jill is a project developer at a real estate company. Driven to make an impact, but confronted daily with housing shortage, rising costs, staff shortages and slow processes. How do you realize more projects, faster and more sustainable, without getting bogged down in complexity? The expectation is not that you realize all achievements yourself, but that you take the lead: create insight with data, monitor results, escalate where necessary and ensure that the right parties take responsibility.
The pressure on the construction and real estate sector is increasing rapidly. More housing, stricter sustainability requirements and a growing demand for healthy living environments require a new way of working. For professionals like Jill, that means constantly looking for ways to make projects smarter, more efficient and more manageable.
Because the biggest challenge has long since gone beyond building itself. It is in collaboration, data, planning and keeping a grip on increasingly complex processes. Architects, contractors, installers, municipalities and consultants often work with different systems and interests. This leads to delays, duplication of effort and unnecessary failure costs.
This is precisely why there is a growing awareness that digitization is no longer a luxury, but a necessity.
Not working harder, but organizing smarter. Fewer manual transfers, more insight, better predictability and more efficient collaboration. So for Jill, technology is not about gadgets, but about results:
- develop faster;
- better decision making;
- fewer errors;
- more grip on projects;
- greater social impact.
Where can you find the tools that give you insight and help bring these issues together?
DigiBuilding 2026
DigiBouw brings professionals from construction, real estate and technology together around the future of building. No abstract visions of the future, but concrete solutions that are directly applicable in practice. From AI and BIM to digital twins, smart chain cooperation and automated processes.
For project developers, this offers direct opportunities. The earlier they have insight into risks, performance and cooperation, the faster and more efficiently projects can be realized. Especially in a market where speed, sustainability and affordability increasingly have to come together.
In addition, DigiBouw offers something that many professionals simply do not have enough time for: overview. In a short time they discover the latest innovations, practical cases and solutions that help to build smarter and collaborate better.
On the Main Stage at DigiBouw: “Will we only build in digital housing factories in the future?”
In this session, Yvonne van der Hulst (Van der Hulst Bouwbedrijf), Bram van Rijt (VDL De Meeuw / Modulair Nederland), and Dorien Staal (Dura Vermeer) will discuss the opportunities and prerequisites of industrial construction. The central question is how a powerful digital ecosystem bridges the gap between design, production, and execution, thereby taking the performance of housing factories to the next level.
Because in the end, it's not just about real estate. It's about building a future-proof Netherlands.
And that doesn't require you to work harder, but to build smarter.
On November 25 and 26, the future will come together during DigiBouw in Jaarbeurs Utrecht. Not to show what will one day be possible, but to discover what is already possible today.
Registering now to visit DigiBouw 2026 is not yet possible, but sign up for the updates and in early July the first 50 update registrants will receive an invitation with a summer discount of no less than 50%!
