This session delves into exploring Turkey's transition from labor-based to knowledge-based construction practices through the lens of digital transformation and Building Information Modelling (BIM) integration. This session unveils a strategic framework aimed at fostering BIM adoption, capacity building, and policy initiatives, driving the industry towards enhanced productivity and efficiency.

Introducing the K-Line BIM configurator with its extensive joinery library covering our entire range. With it, improvements and efficiency are achieved in the construction processes, through the planning and visual representation of all the phases of the work, facilitating the manufacture of the carpentry and ensuring its perfect implementation, guaranteeing its durability.

Technical and practical conference where the products of the Frontek and Argos brands for ventilated façades will be developed. These are two extruded porcelain products that can be covered on the façade of both new and renovation buildings, creating an elegant structure that is sustainable and efficient, as well as elegant, resulting in a 35% reduction in air conditioning and heating costs. In the case of Frontek, its honeycomb pieces allow for much easier installation while considerably reducing the weight of the façade. Attendees will be able to see a live demonstration of the different assembly systems. They will also be able to touch different pieces of the collection to check out the textures and volumes.

We intend it to be an informative lecture for professionals focusing, once again, on industrialisation and a new revolutionary system, which is unique in the market.

We will learn about the professional opportunities of sustainable construction, we will analyse the trends in the industry and promote networking between professionals and companies. Key visions and knowledge will be shared on the future labour landscape of the industry, with a wide range of topics such as professional profiles, requisite training, valued skills, recruitment channels and future challenges. Organised by Barcelona Activa with the support of the BCN Vocational Education Foundation

This new proposal combines current prefabrication techniques for continuous bridges with a wet joint to achieve spans in the range of 100-250m. The singular part of the roof of the new Sagrera station combines the solution with prefabricated elements of open spaces of 48.00 x 39.08 m, with the aesthetic finish for the platform area.

SES, SteelEmbedSystem, is a new integrated pre-industrialised slab system. The system is a very high quality and extremely lightweight slab solution in both mixed and dry designs. SES intelligently combines the design of OSB, galvanised steel sheet, EPS and concrete to maximise performance and deliver a high-performance floor.

Practical example of replacing traditional mortar with other dry bonding materials in Ceranor's SATEbrick and TermoREC Systems. Increased speed, reduced water consumption. Simplified installation, maintaining all the advantages of the system in terms of stability, thermal and acoustic insulation, obtaining considerable savings in indirect costs per square metre.

If you want to meet professionals in the Construction industry to hire them for your organisation, we invite you to participate in the Job Market Place that Barcelona Activa organises in collaboration with Construmat. We look forward to seeing you on May 23 in this recruitment and networking space, where you will find professionals pre-selected by Barcelona Activa - suited to your needs.

This round table aims to debate the role of industrialisation in the construction industry. Providing points of view, assessing progress (fast or slow) in the industry, etc., approaching it from a sustainability, digitalisation, resource optimisation, etc., point of view. What are the benefits? Who benefits the most? Builders, developers, clients, public administration, etc? All of them? Present and future? What lies ahead? Let's look at it from the 2030 Agenda.

The dialogue will focus on bulk construction systems beyond concrete. The discussion will include two approaches where the choice of material and the implementation demonstrate that there are alternatives to standardised construction in order to reduce the carbon footprint.
