This book embodies the results of a major research programme by
members of the Australia Co-operative Research Centre for
Construction Innovation and its global partners, presented for an
international audience of construction researchers, senior
professionals and advanced students. It covers four themes,
applied to regeneration as well as to new build, and within the
overall theme of Innovation:

applied to regeneration as well as to new build, and within the
overall theme of Innovation:Sustainable Materials and Manufactures, focusing on building
material products, their manufacture and assembly – and the
reduction of their ecological ‘fingerprints’, the extension of
their service lives, and their re-use and recyclability. It also
explores the prospects for applying the principles of the
assembly line.

increasing sustainable development through automation, enhanced
collaboration (such as virtual design teams), real time BL
performance assessment during design, simulation of the
construction process, life-cycle management of project
information (zero information loss) risk minimisation, and
increased potential for innovation and value adding.

efficiency). Convergences between IT and design and operational
processes are also viewed as a key platform increased
