On Saturday, June 20, construction sites across the Netherlands will open their gates to the public during Construction Day. Visitors will discover craftsmanship, innovative techniques and impressive building projects.
What often remains invisible is the vast amount of product information required to design, build and maintain these projects. Behind every construction product lies a world of specifications, classifications and application knowledge.
A modern construction project brings together hundreds of products and systems. Reliable product information is essential to ensure these products are specified and applied correctly.
Architects, consultants, specifiers and contractors rely on product data every day for design, specification, calculation and execution. The better this information is managed and shared, the more efficiently projects can be delivered.

The construction industry is rapidly embracing digitalisation. BIM, ETIM, DICO, DSGO and the Digital Product Passport are becoming increasingly important in collaboration throughout the supply chain.

For manufacturers of construction products, product information is becoming more important than ever. Not only for internal processes, but for collaboration throughout the entire construction value chain.
With Utopis, we help manufacturers manage product information from a single source and make it available for websites, specifications, BIM processes, data pools and future initiatives such as the Digital Product Passport.
Construction Day shows what is being built. Product data shows how it becomes possible.
