THANK YOU FOR SUBSCRIBING
As an Autodesk Gold Partner, Contelos tailors Autodesk solutions for construction businesses. It adapts tools such as AutoCAD, Revit and BIM 360 to the realities of construction planning, mechanical design, as well as infrastructure modelling and multi-trade collaboration. When technology is aligned with actual workflows, coordination improves, bottlenecks disappear and projects advance with fewer delays. Without that alignment, software can quickly become underused or poorly integrated, leading to miscommunication, duplicated effort and unnecessary costs. For more than 30 years, Contelos has been at the forefront of construction technology, transforming the way digital tools deliver real-world results. This expertise is built into its full-service delivery model, which begins with process analysis and solution configuration, followed by hands-on training and long-term support. Clients are guided through every stage of their Autodesk journey, which includes steadily building the internal capability to operate independently. “We don’t just install software and walk away. Our role is to ensure Autodesk becomes a natural part of how a business works every day,” says Thomas Schimkewitsch, CEO. Driving each project’s success is a team comprised of individuals with deep expertise in construction, mechanical engineering and IT. They bring practical, cross-industry insight to every engagement. Their firsthand knowledge empowers them to anticipate challenges, speak the client’s language and design optimal solutions for digital planning and on-site execution. From Planning to Execution, Value at Every Step Digital transformation is a proven driver of competitive advantage across design and make industries. Autodesk’s 2025 State of Design and Make report shows that most leaders have already achieved returns exceeding 50 percent, with gains in innovation, productivity, customer satisfaction and the ability to make smarter, faster decisions based on real-time data. These findings reinforce the truth that when technology is aligned with the realities of day-to-day operations, it becomes a catalyst for measurable performance and long-term growth. Contelos helps companies realise this potential by building digital workflows that are structured, transparent and dependable. It works with clients to resolve challenges that limit efficiency, whether in creating a shared data environment, introducing unified BIM standards, improving trade-to-trade coordination or managing the rapid expansion of cloud-based project information.

Autodesk System Houses Power Europe’s Digital Build
Design and construction in Europe have crossed a threshold. Digital fluency now rivals structural expertise. Software ecosystems shape outcomes as decisively as steel and concrete and what once revolved around standalone CAD tools has exploded into integrated platforms, cloud collaboration and AIenhanced workflows. Autodesk system houses and training centres no longer just supply tools. They’ve become strategic enablers, turning software into foresight. BIM and CAD training deliver something new—role-specific, future-ready skills. EU initiatives, such as Digital Europe and national BIM mandates are reshaping curricula to embed sustainability modelling, generative design and sector-specific simulations. Proficiency isn’t enough anymore. The goal is adaptability. Systems orchestrate transformation across entire project lifecycles. They link Autodesk’s cloud platforms with APIs and compliance tools, creating connected environments that slash rework, safeguard data and unlock predictive insights. Digital twins push BIM beyond construction into operations. Real-time monitoring becomes possible. Lifecycle optimisation follows. Training ecosystems have matured dramatically. Instructor-led sessions blend with cloud labs and AI-driven feedback. This model scales skills without sacrificing quality, reaching teams wherever they work. Market momentum tells the story. Europe’s BIM software market is projected to grow at a 14.9 percent CAGR through 2035. But growth misses the point. This is a transformation. BIM has transcended its origins to become the operating system of modern construction. This edition highlights leaders driving Europe’s digital shift. Marco Cici, Head of Design Technology at JRL, shares how BIM and AI can shift the industry from reactive to predictive. Deniz Kayimbasioglu, Senior Design Manager at Overbury, emphasises that innovation must extend to both the workforce and the final project. We also spotlight Contelos, an Autodesk Gold Partner helping firms translate software into measurable results. Led by Frauke Castromonte and Thomas Schimkewitsch, the company delivers tailored implementation and certified training that reduces errors and builds lasting digital capability. We hope these perspectives help you navigate Europe’s construction transformation with confidence.
