Remote control as manifestation of progressive digitization of residential buildings

Residential buildings are more and more often equipped with new technologies that improve the comfort and safety of use. Among them are multifunctional applications that allow the contactless opening of barriers, gates, doors, and calling elevators. This was the solution that the future residents of Zajezdnia Wrocław received.

The digitization of the real estate industry will continue to deepen. According to Deloitte's ‘2020 Commercial Real Estate Outlook’ report, 42 percent of its representatives predict an increase in investment in technology investments, and 5 percent assume a significant increase. While these projections apply to the commercial sector, research findings can be translated into the housing sector, where digitization will play an increasingly important role. This is evidenced by activities aimed at enabling the residents to operate buildings without contact. An example is an introduction of the Blue Bolt application to Zajezdnia Wrocław by the developer Bouygues Immobilier Polska. Future residents of this building will be able to use a smartphone to open the barrier, garage door, entrance door to the building and order an elevator. This will eliminate the need to remember codes, use cards and avoid touching common areas. 

“By eliminating the need to use plastic cards and remote controls, the solution introduced by us also has an ecological dimension, which is extremely important to us. We consistently introduce new technologies to projects and we will certainly use them more and more often. We strive to make residential buildings as modern, friendly, and safe to use as possible,” Cezary Grabowski, sales and marketing director of Bouygues Immobilier Polska, said. 

Thanks to Blue Bolt, the residents of Depot Wrocław will be able to use granting access, including time access. 

“Therefore, it is easier to maintain control over who and when has access to the building,”  Grabowski explained.
