Program Details
- The theme of the research is measuring the performance of delivering and managing constructed facilities – building and infrastructure. In particular, the research will examine productivity and economic benefits of digital modelling (BIM/ VDC) and integrated project delivery in the delivery process. In this industry-based research, the team will develop performance measures for the digital transfer of information throughout the project life cycle, including asset management.
- Experience and/or interest in the link between productivity and economics growth in the construction industry, especially as it relates to productivity gains through improved digital interoperability and documentation quality would be a distinct advantage.
- It is envisaged that one Australian and one Scandinavian student will be selected for these two prestigious scholarships. One element of the research may involve a comparative analysis of practices on Australian and Scandinavian building or infrastructure projects. Accordingly, applicants with an interest in travelling to Scandinavia/Australia coupled with appropriate language skills are particularly encouraged to apply.
- It is likely that the successful applicants would have an academic and /or industry background in engineering, built environment or business; though applicants from other disciplines should not be discouraged from applying if they are enthusiatic about this research theme.
