- Principal Investigator/s: Robert Amor
Public statement
Aotearoa New Zealand’s construction industry reached over $20.5 billion in 2019, making it a major contributor to GDP and employment, as well as developer of critical national infrastructure. However, it is an industry that requires radical transformation and has long been criticised for its low productivity, inefficiencies, and significant contribution in New Zealand’s carbon emissions. This project will deliver the high quality and technically challenging research required to create transformation in terms of productivity, quality, affordability and sustainability in this critical industry through adoption of Industry 4.0 approaches to provide better decision support throughout the supply and value chain. This will be achieved by developing a standardised data management protocol for the sector sitting above three research programs focused on Circular design, (e.g. design lead construction process, Smart construction and Monitoring 4.0. Four research themes (Mātauranga Māori, Healthy sustainability, Computing Technology and Technology Transfer) will underpin these research programs to ensure that they are linked in delivering outcomes of universal relevance to the Sector.
