EDD Engineering & Digital Design

Megatrends are thematic areas that present changes and currents within the industry and steer strong trends in different directions.

DIGITAL X offers 4 districts as venues for the presentations. The Stadtgarten, Friesenviertel, Mediapark and the Belgisches Viertel.

EDD advises clients in the construction and real estate industry, as well as its own association of engineering firms, on digital strategies and work processes. The focus is on data-driven insights and automated planning, through to the implementation of AI applications. The company acts as an expert translator between current planning requirements, necessary sustainability goals and efficiency improvements, and the technical possibilities to make companies fit for the future. It also provides project related support for digital transformation and creates links to new industry participants.

This is what you can expect at DIGITAL X

Using the example of a current construction project, the EDD will demonstrate the modern and networked process of digital planning, from neighborhood development to automated data evaluation of building planning and life-cycle analysis. The possibilities of using AI for process optimization will be demonstrated using a practical example, and visitors will have the chance to interactively test how AI can be used to represent the construction planning of tomorrow. The radical change in the conservative construction industry can be experienced and the methods the industry can use to meet its influence on the defined sustainability goals will be shown. A look into the future of the construction industry awaits you.

What makes the product unique

Our consultancy combines the knowledge of 60 years of construction planning with the insights of our ongoing engagement with industry developments and technological possibilities. We do not sell an isolated product but support customers in building up their knowledge for holistic, future-proof strategies and processes. We support with existing applications, but above all we focus on the individual networking of technologies for the respective customer requirements. Our tasks are just as diverse as the challenges of the construction industry; no result is completely reproducible. Our experts from different fields can deal with new issues and develop targeted solutions.

Solution for the customer

We show our clients the possibilities of digital technologies on concrete projects, for the purpose of their own efficient and sustainable development. Our goal is to build up our clients’ knowledge, to accompany them and finally to enable them to develop their own creative ideas. Digital transformation often fails due to a lack of resources, entrenched processes, too little insight into opportunities and the resulting lack of initial impetus. We take on this part, without moving our clients in a specific direction. We listen, develop, network, support and promote on individual, project, and client level. We consider ourselves consultants for every stakeholder who has recognized the radical changes in the construction industry and wants to position themselves for the future.
