Refinement and validation of the implementation proposals in order to achieve the realisation of the ROADCON vision and roadmap for ICT in construction by means of stakeholder-workshops, structured interviews and questionnaires.The construction sector is characterised by delivery of one-of-a-kind product and service delivery through competence sharing between different organisations (some of which may be unknown to others). ICT usage in the sector is limited and lags far behind other manufacturing sectors. The ROADCON project offered a vision for ICT in construction in addition to a set of roadmaps across 12 thematic areas. ROADCON while providing the vision and roadmaps did not however offer any action plans or project ideas whose realisation would lead to achievement of the vision. This task of identifying strategic actions for realising the vision of ICT in construction is the main goal of Strat-CON. The work in Strat-CON is structured around five workpackages. Of these, three are technical workpackages contributing to the achievement of the scientific objectives of Strat-CON, one workpackage dedicated to stakeholder interaction and dissemination, and one workpackage for project management. |
The ERABUILD network aims at having a major impact on creating the European Research Area (ERA) in research on sustainable development in the construction and operation of buildings, and is therefore the ERA-Net for construction at a European level. One of its major aims is planning and preparing a trans-national R&D programme in the area, and a short term goal for the project is the development of a learning network of governmental organisations. ERABUILD issued in 2005 an invitation to tender on the topic of "Managing Information in Construction". Two proposals, which have both been selected for funding, have led to projects having both begun in Mars 2006 and finishing in April 2007: Strat-CON (http://www.strat-con.org),is a continuation of the former ROADCON roadmap, with the ambition to refine this roadmap, but also to further define an SRA (R&D identification and priorities scheduling) and to propose “developments” fields of future R&D projects.BICT, which aims at evaluating the possibilities and the potential of ICT in order to increase the effectiveness and the quality of the construction processes, in particular by a greater industrialization of these processes. This project grants a significant place to surveys and the case studies to propose generic models.This session will introduce to some of the current projects supported by ERABUILD in the field of Construction supported by ICT, and to future ERABUILD R&D. |
