The implementation of BIM technolo-gy in construction projects has resulted in increased productivity, reduced project costs, and improved efficiency. Even with a more frequent adaptation, BIM is still being seen as a design technology for construction in many cases, the pending potential is actually so much more and it can only be realized by construction teams who truly enable BIM's full access and use while on the field.As a leading global provider of formwork and scaffolding systems, PERI has integrated BIM into our operations, as well as the innovative use of extended reality (XR) technology through our self-developed PERI Reality Anchor. We believe it is a tool for all stakeholders and all stages and we should always aim to enable better access to BIM technology from management to site workers throughout the construction process.BIM@PERIOne of the key advantages of using BIM is that it allows for more efficient project planning. PERI has been at the forefront of digitalization in the construction industry for years. Not only have we set ourselves the goal of acclimatizing to Industry 4.0, but we are also aiming to support the pillar of our success - our clients in the most effective way possible. By having all personnel, processes, and tools interact with each other throughout the entire project cycle, it is possible, for example, to minimize the requirement Michael Day
