Our presentation at CEEC 2023 Summit

The CEEC (Conseil Européen des Economistes de la Construction) held its global summit in Budapest in the autumn of 2023, organized by its Hungarian member company Spányi Partners Zrt. The event, aimed at promoting the sector, gave three key players in the domestic construction industry the opportunity to showcase best practices.

CEEC (Conseil Européen des Economistes de la Construction or European Council of Construction Economists) is the European knowledge center for construction economists. The organization brings together European professionals to share best practices, information, and experience, in order to help the construction cost consultancy profession, share knowledge and promote international standards.

BuildEXT has the honor of representing the Hungarian construction sector in the series of events taking place between 5-7 October, together with Graphisoft and Spányi Partners Zrt.

On the BuildEXT side, Csaba Livják (CEO, founder) and Péter Gajdán (Project Manager) presented our state-of-the-art Revit-based closed BIM design workflow developed by our colleagues, as well as our Uniformat-based automated cost estimating system based on bill of quantities.

The keen interest in the use of our ÉKTR cost reporting system, specifically tailored to the Hungarian context and used in our live projects, led to a thorough and engaging discussion on its alignment with globally recognized standards such as RICS and ICMS.

We would also like to thank the representatives of CEEC, Spányi Partners Zrt, and personally György Spányi, Vilmos Lengyel and Balázs Lengyel for the invitation.
