The company RIB Software SE has been developing technical innovations for the construction sector since 1961. In the period from Dec 2021 to Nov 2024, RIB Software is lead partner of the research project „iECO“ (intelligent Empowerment of Construction Industry) which is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action. A consortium of eleven partners will create a GaiaX-based data space for the construction industry that looks at the entire building lifecycle. One subarea is the consideration of building permitting and its integration.
