Skanska will use SMART Build to consolidate all elements of its estimation, design, planning, scheduling, pre-construction and construction processes into one easy–to-use, powerful cloud platform.

This initiative aims to deliver significant benefits for both organisations, with Hexagon PPM working with Skanska to accelerate the strategic development of the SMART Build solution.
