What PMG does

PMG Projektraum Management GmbH, founded in 2009 and headquartered at Kühbachstraße 7 in Munich, develops and sells PAVE, a modular cloud-based Common Data Environment (CDE) for the construction and real estate industry in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. PAVE functions as a central project room for document and plan management, BIM collaboration, communication, workflow automation, ESG documentation, tender (Ausschreibung) management, and transaction/due-diligence workflows across new build, revitalization, and existing building projects. The company also offers DYVE, a separate virtual data room for secure document exchange, alongside PAVE-branded professional services (administrator and user training, consulting, project administration support). The primary customer base spans general contractors, construction firms, project developers, property developers, planning offices, and architecture firms, with named enterprise users including Stadtwerke München, Implenia, ZIMA Projektentwicklung, R&S Immobilienmanagement, OTEC, ORT Group, Premier Inn, and Siemens.

The platform is built on a modular SaaS architecture with optional add-on modules (PAVE Base, BIM, Workflows, Baudokumentation, Projektsteuerung, Kostencontrolling, ESG, Ausschreibung, Transaktion, Advanced Viewer). BIM capabilities are aligned with BIM Level 2 (ISO EN DIN 19650) and openBIM standards via buildingSMART, including IFC viewing, BCF issue management, rule-based model checking, and Solibri integration that became consistently available in Q1 2026. AI capabilities are developed through the ESKIMO research project and include NLP-driven document reading, pattern-recognition classification, and partially automated invoice approval that compares site status, model data, and invoice features. PAVE integrates with BIMcollab, Microsoft Office Online, Microsoft Active Directory SSO, and CDS GmbH for repro/plotting, and exposes a REST API. All software is developed and hosted exclusively in German data centers, certified to ISO/IEC 27001, BSI C5, and Trusted Cloud standards, with GDPR compliance and BITMi 'Software Made in Germany' / 'Software Hosted in Germany' seals.

PMG operates a consultative, sales-led distribution model built on personalized live demos, individualized software configuration, and hands-on onboarding, with multi-year subscription contracts priced per client (user count, modules selected, project scope). An indirect channel supplements direct sales through technology partners (OpenExperience for defect management, PROBIS for cost controlling, DEUDAT for data protection), the corporate-group partner CDS GmbH for repro services, and industry association memberships (buildingSMART Deutschland, BITMi, GPTI, DVP, Trusted Cloud, IHK 'Pack ma's digital'). Marketing relies on content (German-language blog, eBooks, whitepapers, case studies), SEO/SEM, LinkedIn/XING presence, a CleverReach newsletter, and industry events such as BIM World MUNICH. The company is led by Managing Directors Mike Riegler and Stefan Finkenzeller, who also lead the corporate-group partner CDS GmbH.

Direct peers

• Asite: UK-headquartered CDE and collaboration platform for construction and infrastructure projects. Asite competes with PAVE in the CDE category with comparable document management, BIM workflows, and supply-chain collaboration features, including ISO 19650 alignment.
• Thinkproject: Munich-headquartered Common Data Environment and BIM collaboration platform serving infrastructure, energy, and construction clients across Europe. Thinkproject is PMG's most direct competitor in the DACH CDE market, targeting the same enterprise customers with similar ISO 19650 and openBIM workflows.

Broad incumbents

• Autodesk Construction Cloud: Autodesk's portfolio including BIM 360, PlanGrid, Assemble, and BuildingConnected. Autodesk Construction Cloud is the dominant global CDE/BIM collaboration platform and the primary large-enterprise alternative to PAVE, with growing EU data-residency and localization efforts.
• Trimble Connect: Trimble's cloud-based common data environment for construction and engineering projects. Trimble Connect overlaps PAVE's BIM collaboration and document management capabilities as part of a much broader construction technology portfolio.
• Oracle Aconex: Oracle's document control and collaboration platform widely used on large infrastructure and capital projects. Aconex is a long-standing CDE competitor to PAVE in the enterprise and public-infrastructure segment, particularly for mega-projects.
• Procore: Leading construction project management and collaboration platform with a strong European footprint. Procore competes with PAVE on construction document management, project communications, and workflow automation, although it is stronger in project management than pure CDE.
• Nemetschek Group: Munich-headquartered AEC software group owning ALLPLAN, Graphisoft, Bluebeam, Solibri, and other brands. Nemetschek is the dominant German-language AEC software conglomerate and the most powerful domestic competitor to PMG, with overlapping BIM and collaboration offerings.

Regional players

• ALLPLAN: Munich-based CAD and BIM software vendor (Nemetschek subsidiary) with Bimplus, a BIM collaboration platform. ALLPLAN/Bimplus overlaps with PAVE's BIM and CDE capabilities and is a natural alternative for German-speaking mid-market customers.
• RIB Software: Stuttgart-based construction software vendor (now part of Schneider Electric) focused on ERP and project management for the building industry. RIB's iTWO platform overlaps PAVE's project steering and cost controlling modules, making it a credible German alternative.
• d.velop: German enterprise content management and document management system vendor. d.velop is a credible German alternative for document-centric collaboration in construction and adjacent industries, often positioned as a lower-cost CDE-like solution for mid-market buyers.
