WHERE WE COME FROM
The Build Trust idea was born on the experience gained in over 60 years of industrial
activity for designing and manufacturing construction automated equipment which have
been adopted within the most important infrastructural projects of the world.
In combination with the know-how of very valuable project managers who have directed
the construction of the same projects, as well as the knowledge of digital experts who
are driving the information technology revolution in the area of BIM – IoT – Blockchain.
The mission is to “illuminate” the construction industry thanks to virtual modelling
and planning, together with transparent data sharing.
