BDFcivory – digital construction communication in real time
Hohlengasse resurfacing
Location Uetendorf, Kanton Bern
The starting point
Hohlengasse in Uetendorf and adjacent municipal roads were comprehensively renovated. In addition to the road pavement, safety on the way to school, pedestrian and cycle traffic and traffic routing were also improved. Around 200 households were directly affected by the construction work.
The project at a glance
The resurfacing of Hohlengasse was carried out together with the renovation of adjacent municipal roads. In addition to renewing the road pavement, the project included measures to improve safety on the way to school, pedestrian and cycle traffic and traffic routing. The work was carried out in several construction phases with changing traffic routing, diversions and temporary full closures.

Our solution
With BDFcivory, all relevant project and construction site information was bundled centrally and kept up to date. Construction phases, traffic routing, closures and diversions were visualised clearly and communicated promptly via construction site news. In addition, an interactive map as well as tracking and evaluation enabled targeted information of the affected public and measurable success monitoring.
Central project information
Project description, construction schedule, contacts and current information in one place.
Up-to-date construction site news
Changes, closures and new traffic routing were communicated digitally at short notice.
Visualisation of the construction sequence
Construction phases, traffic routing and restrictions presented clearly through animations and visualisations.
Interactive map with address search
Those affected could check directly when and how their property would be affected by a construction phase.
Usage and public analysis
Usage, reach and feedback from the public and project stakeholders were evaluated systematically.

Bei einem Strassenbauprojekt habe ich erstmals Erfahrungen mit der Digitalen Anwohnerinformation gemacht. Es ist ein grosser Vorteil, dass sich Anwohner und weitere Beteiligte selbstständig über die Plattform zu den anstehenden Bauarbeiten informieren können. Dadurch gibt es deutlich weniger telefonische Rückfragen. Änderungen sowie Terminangaben lassen sich schnell und flexibel veröffentlichen, sodass alle Beteiligten jederzeit auf dem aktuellen Stand sind. Für mich ist die Digitale Anwohnerinformation eine einfache und wirkungsvolle Lösung für eine transparente und zeitgemässe Kommunikation mit allen Beteiligten.

Mit der Digitalen Anwohnerinformation (DAI) konnten wir unseren administrativen Aufwand deutlich reduzieren. Der Informationsfluss an die Anwohner ist wesentlich effizienter geworden, und Rückfragen haben massiv abgenommen. Dadurch hatten wir praktisch keine E-Mails oder Telefonanrufe zu den kommunizierten Informationen. Die DAI erleichtert unsere Arbeit spürbar und sorgt gleichzeitig für eine transparente und zeitnahe Kommunikation mit der Bevölkerung.

BDFcivory on the construction site
During the construction period, BDFcivory was continuously supplemented with up-to-date construction site news, project information and insights from the site. This allowed the public to follow the progress of the work and keep up to date at any time.
Construction phases and restrictions at a glance
The individual construction phases were presented clearly with visualisations, animations and an interactive map. This allowed residents to see early on which traffic routing, closures and diversions currently applied and whether their own property was affected.
