Construction Site Digitalisation and AEC Sector

Cloud4Business applies its expertise in cloud architectures, data integration, AI and cybersecurity to the specific challenges of the construction sector (Architecture, Engineering, Construction).

Our vision

The construction site of the future is a cyber-physical system: data from robots, environmental sensors, BIM models and AI decisions must be orchestrated in real time, with stringent requirements for security, interoperability and latency.

Cloud4Business brings to this sector its consolidated experience in designing complex digital platforms for public administration and industry, applying it to the specific needs of the construction site: intermittent connectivity, heterogeneous data, multi-stakeholder environments and regulatory compliance.

Competencies for the AEC sector

Digital Twin and data integration
Cloud/edge architecture for integrating construction-site data into a synchronised digital twin. Ingestion from robots (ROS-2 telemetry), LiDAR scanners, IoT sensors and BIM models (IFC/IDS).

Open API and CDE
Design of open APIs (REST, WebSocket, pub/sub) for data exchange between Digital Twin, BIM/CDE systems, robots and management platforms. ROS-2 ↔ BIM/IFC-IDS mapping with schema validation and contract testing.

Near-real-time KPI dashboards
Dashboards with data-to-decision latency below 5 minutes for progress, quality, safety, noise, dust and cost monitoring. Alerting on drift, anomalies, MTTR/MTBF.

BPM and process orchestration
Intelligent workflows for robot scheduling, retry/fallback management, health & safety events. Architectural patterns transferred from industrial process digitalisation.

Security and data governance
ISMS enforcement (ISO 27001) in multi-partner contexts: RBAC/ABAC, audit trails, DLP, encryption, backup/retention. Sensitive data management (GDPR) in hybrid cloud/edge architectures.
