DESIGN

Planning security: Extraordinary design as the new standard!

From simple to complex design tasks with natural stone, DDL® offers the world's simplest, most precise and at the same time most flexible design tool in the stone industry. DDL® stands for extraordinary design freedom! With a focus on aesthetics, the innovative and super simple handling enables the creation of efficient variants. This means not only material reliability but also cost security - and all this before the stone slabs are cut!

QUALITY

Quality management: Complete documentation from A to Z!

DDL® enables precise digital planning of design ideas. Transparent and traceable. Each project is automatically documented exactly by means of output of detailed reports across all project phases. In addition, all necessary production and cutting data is provided to the processing machines before cutting. The data is BIM-compliant. The inspection function and the approval process ensure that the project managers have bindingly approved production data.

DYNAMIC

Planning dynamics: Always up to date, across all planning phases - for everyone in the team!

DDL® continuously updates the stone slabs used and placed within the plans and variants. In this way, the entire project team always has access to the current data from the first draft through all planning phases to the detailed work planning. Necessary planning changes and adjustments can be made at any time via DDL®. All existing design variants are immediately updated and recalculated in the background. The simple color marking of the laid slabs as well as the intelligent error analysis supports the teamwork. DDL® thus directs the team's focus strongly to aesthetics, efficiency and the topic of slab utilization!

TRANSPARENCY

Cost transparency: The exact dimensions for cost estimation and tendering in real time!

Based on the project plans, DDL® provides the accurate basis for an immediate cost estimate or calculation. This new transparency for all parties involved accelerates decisions. In case of changes in the plans, an immediate adjustment of the quantities for the cost calculation takes place in parallel. Based on the current planning, there is always a clear view of the quantities and costs. DDL® offers a bidding module for the tendering of stone work. The most efficient way to tender natural stone work on the basis of project plans.

SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability: Optimizing the use of materials, minimizing CO2 emissions!

The innovative DDL slab utilization control intuitively optimizes the use of natural stone resources in the project . This immediately increases sustainability considerably. At the same time, the digital inspection options reduce any necessary time and travel expenses - combined with effective cost savings and the reduction of CO2 emissions.

EFFICIENCY

Reduced planning effort: increase efficiency and reduce project costs!

DDL® ensures efficient planning support. And that for the entire project team, from the office to the home office. The time savings through DDL® lead to a new economic efficiency with simultaneous digitalization of the project data. This not only increases productivity within the team. The accurate visibility of unused slab areas provides parallel value creation. DDL® enables the use of these areas in parallel in further projects. In addition, all necessary stone slabs and production data are made available for work preparation. Practical experience shows an average reduction in production costs of up to 20 percent.
