Portugal is on the fast track to digitising its construction industry<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Published on August 4, 2023<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Portuguese construction industry has made a big step towards its digital transformation. The GrowingCircle project \u2013 an international initiative between Portugal and Norway to set up a digital product catalogue in Portuguese and promote digitalisation \u2013 has now evolved into producing a Portuguese national data dictionary.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The project has been carried out by Instituto da Constru\u00e7\u00e3o, part of the University of Porto in Portugal and Trondheim University in Norway. It has also been supported by the EEA Grants 2014-2021, which are jointly financed by Iceland, Lichtenstein and Norway.<\/p>\n

Portuguese construction companies and associations will be able to use the newly developed data dictionary in Define \u2013 a solution for the construction industry managed by the industry itself, that can be further enriched with more industry-approved data templates. The initial input on the type of data templates that would be needed is being prepared by Instituto da Constru\u00e7\u00e3o. The solution will help to accelerate the entire decision-making and approval process, ensuring swift and successful completion of the project.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u201cDigital Product Passports are being discussed in the context of the new EU Ecodesign and Construction Products Regulations. The construction industry can take useful shortcuts in its implementation, as we are already setting up digital product catalogues under a common and interoperable framework,\u201d says Pedro M\u00eada from Instituto da Constru\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u201cThe fruitful collaboration and the practical vision of these potential shortcuts is key to the pursuit towards twin transition accomplishment, helping construction to achieve a green and digital future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u201cThis international collaboration will enhance the digitalisation of the Portuguese construction sector. The newly launched Portuguese data dictionary in Define will enable construction actors to improve information exchange and collaboration across the entire value chain and achieve compliance with regulatory requirements,\u201d says Lars Chr Fredenlund, CEO of Cobuilder \u2013 the software provider that develops and maintains the Define platform on behalf of the industry.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The bilateral initiative between Portugal and Norway continues with the development and improvement of the Portuguese data dictionary in Define and will be expanded by implementing additional software solutions to further boost digitalisation efforts on a national scale.<\/p>\n<\/div>
