The construction industry is under pressure to comply with new laws and regulations. At the same time, digital risks are increasing. DigiBouw 2025 brings these developments together and offers practical solutions for legislative compliance and cyber resilience.

Quality assurance mandatory under the WKB

With the introduction of the Building Quality Assurance Act (WKB), recording quality will become a legal requirement. For many companies this means a switch: processes must become more transparent, files more complete and communications better documented. During DigiBouw, exhibitors will show digital tools that help build the required construction file. From photo registration on the construction site to automatic links with planning and quality assurance systems.

Construction file in order thanks to practical digital tools

The solutions are focused on practicality: fast, clear and legally tenable. Think of apps that allow contractors to enter data directly from the construction site, or systems that automatically check whether all supporting documents are present. In this way, compliance with the WKB becomes an integrated part of work practice, rather than an extra burden.

Cybersecurity in construction: protection against digital threats

At least as urgent is the focus on cybersecurity. Construction companies are increasingly affected by data breaches, hostage software and network failures. DigiBouw 2025 shows how companies can arm themselves against this. From basic measures such as two-factor authentication and encrypted file sharing to advanced monitoring of network traffic and access management within project platforms.

Digital resilience requires both technology and awareness

The risks are real, especially as more and more projects run on cloud-based environments and data are central to the construction process. Exhibitors will therefore demonstrate not only technical measures, but also how awareness and education play a role in digital resilience.

Complying with regulations without losing speed

Attention is also paid to compliance: how do you ensure that your organization complies with the AVG, the WKB and other requirements without slowing down your processes? Smart tools help keep everything in order - from document management to logging and authorizations.

Ahead with security and risk management

Those who invest in digital safety and legal security today will reap the benefits tomorrow. DigiBouw 2025 offers an up-to-date overview of solutions that not only fulfill obligations, but also contribute to risk management and quality improvement.
