Building Lifecycle Integration
This research explores the hypothesis that effective integration of the different interfaces (e.g. information/knowledge, organisations) over the lifecycle of a building will enhance its performance (with respect to how it supports the immediate and changing business needs of clients/users and other actors that interact with it, and how its impact on society and the environment is optimised). Current work is focused on the interface between clients and the design/construction industry at both the development and handover stages of a project. .
