DETAIL Digital Congress 2026

Artificial intelligence & co.: A revolution for the construction industry?

Thursday, 12 November 2026 in Berlin

Digitalisation is transforming the construction world – from planning and implementation to operation. Drones and laser scans enable precise assessments of existing buildings, while AI-supported tools convert 2D sketches into 3D models, check data consistency and reveal ecological impacts such as carbon footprints or climate simulations early in the phase. With the help of virtual-reality glasses, clients can test the design long before construction begins.

In practice, 3D printing, robotics and modular construction methods are revolutionising building processes. Digital platforms connect all stakeholders, manage resources and construction progress in real time, streamline supply chains and make processes more resilient. New process technologies and industrially customised materials increase speed and quality.

Smart homes are becoming increasingly popular: AI-based controls for energy, ventilation and security systems increase comfort, self-sufficiency and sustainability. But digitalisation is more than just technology – it requires a shift in thinking: away from isolated drawings towards networked data models, integrative workflows and smart buildings.

What opportunities are we already seizing of today? Where do we still lack the courage to experiment? And how can we ensure that efficiency does not come at the expense of building culture and people?

Leading architecture and specialist planning firms from Germany and Europe present their digital solutions for all phases of construction and share their experiences.
