Digital transformation of the construction sector

51³Ô¹ÏÍø's Centre for System Engineering and Innovation was invited to give a keynote , which took place 10 - 12 July, 2017.

Professor Jennifer focused on the digital transformation of the construction sector, and in particular the changing relationship between project delivery and operations.

I will argue for the importance of 'starting with the end in mind' and seeing projects as interventions into infrastructure systems, where interventions may range from maintenance to a new megaproject. Drawing on work with the London 2012 Olympics and Crossrail, the keynote will discuss research on the handover of digital information from the project into operations, and the associated challenges of collating and maintaining sets of digital asset information; managing change in large data-sets; and using immersive visualization to collaboratively discuss and review designs in the production process.

CSEI PhD student  was also featured in the programme during the Building and Information Modelling session where he presented his research on "Framework for shared visualization and real-time information flow to the construction site".
