Since February 2023, PAVE has officially been part of the Pro4all Group – a growing group of companies with a clear vision: to build an integrated platform ecosystem for the entire construction industry. For our customers, this is first and foremost good news. What changes is the strength behind us. What stays the same is everything you rely on.

What Is the Pro4all Group?
Pro4all pursues a strategy that is still rarely implemented consistently in the construction industry: rather than selling standalone solutions, it is building a platform ecosystem for the construction industry. This means specialized software products that are best-in-class in their respective areas come together under one roof.
PAVE is positioned in this platform ecosystem exactly where it has always had its strengths: digital project and data management for construction projects. As a Common Data Environment (CDE), PAVE serves as the central information hub for developers, planners, project managers and all other project stakeholders – from document and drawing management to BIM and workflows, construction documentation, cost controlling, and ESG documentation.
What Does Not Change for PAVE Customers
This is the question that deserves to be asked first. The clear answer: PAVE remains software made and hosted in Germany. Our data centres are located in Germany. This will not change as a result of joining the Pro4all Group – not today and not in the future. For customers working on sensitive projects who place value on data sovereignty, this is not a given – which is exactly why we state it as a clear commitment.
The security standards also remain at the same highest level:
* AES-256 encryption
* ISO 27001 certification
* BSI C5 compliance
* Hosting in German data centres
What also does not change: personal support, training and consulting by the PAVE team. In-house, in your language, with contacts who know your projects.
Why the Group Adds Value
A platform ecosystem makes sense when the individual parts truly fit together. And this is where the strategic added value lies for PAVE customers.
The construction industry faces challenges not just around data and drawings. It also faces challenges in occupational health and safety on the construction site – and this is exactly where the Pro4all Group brings a solution we can recommend to our customers with confidence: SafetyFirst.
SafetyFirst: Safety Management, Fully Digital
SafetyFirst is a health and safety software and app that digitalises the entire safety process on the construction site. Incident reports, inspections, toolbox meetings, briefings, LMRA checklists – all in one place, accessible to everyone, on phone, tablet and desktop.
What makes SafetyFirst stand out: it works because people on the construction site actually use it. The app is deliberately kept simple. A safety tool that is too complex will not be used. And an unused tool protects no one.
Results from the field:
* 70% time savings in safety administration
* 60% fewer incidents
* 20% cost savings
More than 200,000 people in the construction industry already use SafetyFirst – including well-known names such as Heijmans, Sweco, Dura Vermeer and Arcadis.
For projects managed with PAVE, this creates a natural complement: PAVE handles the structured flow of information around drawings, documents, BIM models and project communication. SafetyFirst protects the people who bring those projects to life on site.
Trust Requires Continuity
The decision to integrate PAVE into the Pro4all Group was not a change of direction – it was a reinforcement of a direction PMG has followed from the very beginning: digital construction project management with the highest security requirements, personal service and a platform that grows with the needs of its customers.
Those who use PAVE today will use the same software tomorrow – with greater backing and a portfolio behind them that keeps the entire construction value chain in view.
