To the topic pageAt IHEEP 2025, the Nemetschek Group demonstrated what a connected, human-centered approach to digital infrastructure can achieve. With four brands standing side by side – ALLPLAN, Bluebeam, SiteDocs, and Solibri – Nemetschek presented a unified vision. This vision is shaped by design intelligence, constructability, collaboration, compliance, and safety.
The Highway Engineering Exchange Program (HEEP) has long been one of the most influential forums for digital innovation in transportation. Its flagship event, the International Highway Engineering Exchange Program (IHEEP), has evolved into a global gathering point for agencies, academia, and industry leaders committed to modernizing infrastructure delivery.
This year’s conference in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina marked more than a milestone event. It signaled a shift in how the public sector evaluates technology partners and how Nemetschek is stepping forward to meet that expectation.
A Market in Transition and an Opportunity for Leadership
Across the U.S., public agencies are moving decisively toward interoperable, transparent, and accountable digital delivery. Federal, state, and local organizations are seeking solutions that connect disciplines, reduce fragmentation, and translate design intent into safe, efficient, and resilient execution.
IHEEP 2025 confirmed what has been building for years: the infrastructure community is searching for integrated digital ecosystems rather than disconnected tools. Nemetschek’s presence aligned directly with this need.
Bluebeam continues to serve as an anchor for collaboration across dozens of U.S. Departments of Transportation, offering trusted workflows that accelerate review, communication, and documentation.
Solibri brings data-driven quality assurance and model validation to support compliance and design integrity.
ALLPLAN offers design-to-build capabilities for complex civil and structural projects, delivering constructability at scale.
SiteDocs ensures that safety and accountability remain central to project delivery through real-time digital field management.
Together, these brands create a continuum of capability that mirrors the lifecycle of public infrastructure projects. This approach reflects Nemetschek’s commitment to enabling better-built environments for the public good.
Collaboration as a Strategic Force
IHEEP 2025 provided a clear illustration of Nemetschek’s competitive strength: integration as a cultural practice, not a marketing message.
Across the exhibition floor and in technical sessions, Nemetschek teams engaged public sector leaders with a single, shared purpose. ALLPLAN specialists demonstrated how Solibri strengthens data accuracy. Bluebeam’s public sector team connected agencies to SiteDocs’ safety workflows. Solibri leaders reinforced how Bluebeam’s collaboration capabilities close the loop between design, construction, and field execution.
This was collaboration expressed not as coordination, but as an operating rhythm grounded in shared mission.
While many technology providers offer isolated solutions, Nemetschek delivers an interconnected vision of the built environment that aligns directly with the way public owners are redefining digital delivery: through openness, interoperability, and continuous accountability.
This integrated approach is emerging as a differentiator in the U.S. public sector, one that cannot be easily replicated.
A Connected Narrative for a Connected Industry
For the first time, Nemetschek’s U.S. public sector story was presented as one cohesive narrative. Instead of four independent offerings, IHEEP 2025 showcased a unified ecosystem, one that brings clarity to complex digital workflows and reinforces the value of cross-discipline alignment.
This framing resonated with public agencies because it reflects their reality: effective infrastructure delivery depends on the seamless flow of information from planning and design to field execution and long-term operations.
IHEEP 2025 allowed public sector stakeholders to see how Nemetschek’s strengths complement one another and how the Group’s global expertise can support modernization efforts across the U.S.
The Meaning Beyond the Moment
The impact of IHEEP 2025 extends well beyond the conference. It affirmed three central realities shaping the future of U.S. infrastructure:
1. The market is ready for integrated, interoperable digital ecosystems:Agencies want clear pathways to implement technology that drives accountability, quality, and efficiency.
2. Nemetschek’s portfolio aligns directly with these needs:Through design intelligence, collaboration, validation, and safety, Nemetschek offers a continuum that strengthens every stage of the project lifecycle.
3. Nemetschek’s unified presence reflects readiness for a larger leadership role:TheNemetschek Group is emerging not as a responder to digital transformation but as a contributor to its direction.
Nemetschek enters the next phase of U.S. public sector engagement with clarity: a commitment to collaboration, a belief in the power of connected solutions, and a vision for infrastructure that is safer, smarter, sustainable and built for the future.
