Digital transformation in projects disrupts how project-oriented organizations recognize and value skills and expertise of new data-savvy talents. Existing research on digitalization in projects has focused mainly on technologies that can help organizations and people achieve, wi ...

Blockchain-Based Decentralized Common Data Environment

User Requirements and Conceptual Framework

A common data environment (CDE) is defined as a single source of truth for all project information that facilitates continuous collaboration between stakeholders. In practice, multiple CDEs are used simultaneously, leading to a lack of data integrity, traceability, and transparen ...
Purpose
This study aims to establish relationships between organizational attributes and strategies for developing accurate digital twins (DTs) of constructed facilities. To achieve this aim, the study objectives are: (1) identify the key organizational attributes and strateg ...

Blockchain-based decentralised Common Data Environment

User requirements and conceptual framework

The ISO19650 standard proposed a common data environment (CDE) as a single source of truth for all project information that facilitates continuous collaboration between stakeholders. In practice, multiple CDEs are used simultaneously, leading to a lack of data integrity, traceabi ...
Purpose
This research investigates the distinct characteristics of blockchain technology to safeguard against the deterioration of handover information quality in the post-construction phase. The significance of effective management of handover information is highlighted by g ...

Unveiling the complexity code

Navigating BIM-enabled projects with a project management complexity index

Purpose:
This study aims to investigate the complexity factors associated with BIM-enabled projects. BIM has been widely promoted as a potential solution to numerous challenges that hinder productivity in construction projects, owing to its numerous advantages. Nevertheless, ...
The construction industry increasingly recognizes the potential benefits of cyber-physical systems, particularly Digital Twin (DT) technology, within the framework of Industry 4.0 and Construction 4.0. However, there remains a lack of clarity regarding the specific contributions ...
In today’s society, project work gains traction across many industries. As projects are characterised by novelty and uncertainty, emerging digital technologies promise solutions that improve performance and help deliver full benefits. Amidst this digitisation, digital technologie ...
Purpose
Off-Site Construction (OSC) has received much government and public attention during and after COVID. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an initiative discussed widely to promote OSC implementation. Although many policy promotions have been published, there are m ...
Amidst the disruptive backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations are navigating toward a new normal, leveraging digital technologies to reconfigure business processes and operational practices. This study delves into the transformative effects of digitalization on project m ...
The upsurge of digitalization in many sectors has been associated with better environmental outcomes. Recent policy change and international convergence has shown Net Zero (NZ) vision as a means of controlling global greenhouse gas emissions. This article focuses on construction ...

Projects as a speciation and aggregation mechanism in transitions

Bridging project management and transitions research in the digitalization of UK architecture, engineering, and construction industry

Sociotechnical transitions are mostly seen in the literature as processes where actors and technologies in small niches peripheral to an organizational field, accumulate momentum, scale up, aggregate, and eventually bring about large-scale regime change. Foundational examples inc ...

Project Delivery Methods to Digital Fabrication in Architecture

A comparative case study from a modularity perspective

Digital Fabrication (DFAB) faces challenges in project delivery due to various barriers, such as its complex technical processes and unclear benefits. However, there is no specific research on project delivery methods for DFAB. This study conducts a comparative case study to unde ...

Common data environments in construction

State-of-the-art and challenges for practical implementation

Purpose Information management workflow in building information modelling (BIM)-based collaboration is based on using a common data environment (CDE). The basic premise of a CDE is exposing all relevant data as a single source of truth and facilitating continuous collaboration be ...

Exploring Multidimensional Modularity

Strategies to Reduce Complexity in Design Activities

Modularity is an approach to simplify systems and reduce complexity. However, existing research suggests that a mono-dimensional modularity strategy, focusing solely on one dimension, such as product, process, or organization, might not fully achieve these goals in design activit ...
Healthcare facilities play a key role in responding United Nations goals, such as sustainability, health and welling. The outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic has driven much attention to expanding healthcare capacity through advanced digital technologies, such as Building Informati ...
An academic–industry team present the results of research conducted into the current benefits being derived from the use of digital twins across the entire life cycle of an asset. The team reviewed the benefits being derived by the asset-management community, as it is through thi ...
The built environment (BE) is currently undergoing a digital transformation from traditional to digital, affecting among others, architecture. Departing from the implicit assumption of digital technologies (DTs) for economic growth, productivity and performance, we instead focus ...

Digital twin-based services

A taxonomy (Extended Abstract)

We are witnessing an increased interest and advanced developments of Digital Twins (DT) across different industries; manufacturing, construction, oil and gas, aerospace, energy or healthcare among others. Some actors are already realising that the power of DTs goes beyond eff ...
