Architecture researchDigital Construction, Procurement & Law

Our research addresses the challenges of improving productivity, lowering cost, and enhancing quality and UN SDG-driven outcomes in the construction sector by applying state-of-the-art digital technologies. Our work spans the entire lifecycle of built assets spanning inception through to design, construction, and operations.

The Group's activities fall under three main themes:

Considering the predominant role of digital technologies in transforming the construction sector, most of our work is underpinned by developing improved construction technology, engineering and business processes leveraged by innovative digital solutions.

We're committed to innovation and construction improvements through improved business, engineering and technology processes and the greater use of artificial intelligence and cyber-physical systems for integrated delivery of sustainable built assets

Our mission is to conduct world-leading research that delivers innovative solutions to improve the design, implementation and management of the different phases in the lifecycle of built environment projects and contribute to the digital transformation of the construction.
