The winners of Batimat's 4th Start-Ups Construction Tech challenge

Four winners (Buildrz, Traxxs, Bimeo and Stockpro) as well as a Grand Winner (Ioga) emerged from the deliberations. The jury also wanted to salute the start-up Optimiz Construction with a special mention “Jury Prize”.

The Grand Prize Winner will be present in the Construction Tech space at BATIMAT.

The 50 start-ups registered in the 4th Challenge Construction Tech will also be included in the Digital Directory of Start-Ups. This exclusive tool was developed by BATIMAT to facilitate contact between start-ups and other building and real estate players and currently has nearly 300 start-ups.

Grand Prize Winner

IOGA (Category: Data)

YOGA is a start-up that is revolutionizing “Knowledge Management” with smart video. The objective of IOGA is to share the best practices, the know-how of companies to meet the challenges of training.

Convinced that the transmission of skills and their distribution to the teams is the only way to adapt to an environment in full transformation, IOGA has already convinced the majors (SPIE, VINCI, Eiffage, GCC) seduced by the possibility of being able to share the expertise and know-how of their field teams. To multiply the collection of knowledge, IOGA chose the process of self-interview. A question/answer scenario, adapted to the video project, guides the capture. The collaborator, knowing it, plays both the role of interviewer and interviewee.

BIMEO (Category: Augmented reality)

BIMEO is the first 3D scanning application for existing buildings using augmented reality on smartphones. The different actors of the project are informed during a modification and can add their technical contribution.

BIMEO develops tools for acquiring, structuring and sharing the technical data of existing buildings. For more than 5 years BIMEO has structured its product offer around the exploitation and management of technical data in buildings. Whatever the actors (architects, prime contractors, project owners, property managers, diagnosticians, experts, companies or any other professional, etc.), the data must be unified, enriched and shared to optimize processes and improve quality. It is on this principle of "LEAN" that BIMEO deploys its tools to facilitate the work of professionals.

BUILDRZ (Category: AI)

Buildrz is the digital platform that allows project owners to simulate future operations and their financial challenges in 3D, with the aim of building a unique relationship with the owner and the community.

Backed by several years of fruitful research (3D digital model, simulation and optimization of constructions, big data), Buildrz is revolutionizing the practices of the major players in the sector:

• For architects and the construction industry, the solution proposes to develop exemplary operations on land that correspond to the aspirations of young people, families, working people, etc. in large cities.
• For building operators (donors, promoters, etc.) it helps to reorganize, modernize and give impetus to development teams.
• For local authorities, it gives power to their housing, land and urban planning policies, helps to prepare negotiations with operators and to equip themselves with tools to exchange with elected officials, directors, partners, associations.

STOCKPRO (Category: Business Digitization)

The platform StockPro allows construction industry players to digitise, enrich and structure all unused new materials, then activate and manage their reuse on several merchant channels.

TRAXXS (Category: IOT)

TRAXxs designs and markets active worker protection solutions (PTI/DATI type) integrated into connected insoles, which fit directly into safety shoes, and operate without a smartphone or other accessory. The mission of TRAXxs is to offer an innovative, effective, easy-to-use solution to protect workers engaged in so-called “risky” activities. To do this, the soles embed the equivalent of smartphone technology in a few millimeters of thickness. A daring choice at the start but which today constitutes a vector of major differentiation to ensure the safety of workers.

Special Mention: Jury Prize

OPTIMIZ CONSTRUCTION (Category: IA)

With its unique software, Optimiz Construction helps structural works companies to gain 20% in performance on their reinforcement station by optimizing materials and implementation. The software simulates, in a few minutes, the cutting plan and standard panel cuts. A layout plan is then published, accompanied by biodegradable labels of different colors depending on the tablecloth. Traceability is thus total. The solution guarantees 3 performances:

• Environmental: reduction of waste, carbon footprint and skip rotations,
• Economical: reduction in the quantities of standard materials to be ordered and the implementation time on site,
• Application: simplification of laying plans, reduction of worksite cutting and travel.
