Viennese and German cities use new construction software

Vienna is the first major city to use the construction software from smino. The digital tool has also gained a foothold in several German cities. It aims to save resources, time, and money in urban construction.
Two companies belonging to Wien Holding are working on the smino platform, according to a press release. According to the Rapperswil-Jona-based developer of construction software, Wiener Infrastruktur Projekt GmbH and Wiener Standort Entwicklung GmbH have used the app for two residential construction projects and the construction of a social centre. The reason for this is increasing cost pressure and the high demand for living space.
Several German cities also want to use the app to save resources, time and money in urban development. According to the press release, Essen and Darmstadt are among the users. Essen is using it for the construction of a new comprehensive school, while in Darmstadt the app is being used for several projects, including the construction of the North Fire Station.
The digital tool represents a solution in view of rising costs and the growing demand for living space, according to the press release. With smino, cities and municipalities can “successfully meet the challenges of modern urban development” and thus also make a sustainable contribution to the well-being of their residents.
According to the company, the smino app connects developers, authorities, planners and contractors to form an efficient unit. Thanks to its central availability, workflows can be optimised and projects can be realised in a time and cost-efficient manner. It also makes communication between project participants more transparent.
The Managing Partner of smino, Sandor Balogh, quoted in the press release, is delighted with the internationalisation. “The collaboration with local authorities underlines our endeavours to increase the efficiency and transparency of construction projects and promote sustainable, liveable cities.”
