In our newest blog article, Sunil Pandita, Chief Division Officer Planning and Design as well as the Digital Twin Business Unit at Nemetschek Group, and explains that healthcare construction is under pressure, with hospitals affected first as many projects still run late and over budget due to fragmented data and disconnected processes. He highlights that better‑performing projects rely on shared, standards‑based digital information across planning, construction, and operations, enabled by Open BIM, digital twins, AI‑driven site monitoring, and energy management tools. Drawing on examples from Bergen, Copenhagen, Barcelona, and New Zealand, he illustrates that this approach is already feasible today and points the way toward more reliable planning, construction, and operation of healthcare facilities.
