Dear students, please note that attendance at the first lecture is mandatory. Seats will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. In the event that there are more students than available seats, a solution will be devised.
This lecture is for all master-students who are open-minded about innovation and future research in the field of construction processes. The seminar will be held in a “think- tank” style and will depend on an active exchange between the experts and participants.
The content is built upon the fundamental lectures of construction processes and methods presented in other courses at the institute. In this course, innovations like BIM, Smart-Site, digital knowledge-management-systems and specific solutions of start-ups are presented. Several research projects at the Institute of Construction Process and Construction Economics are developing methodology and ideas to optimize the processes on site. The presented topics of different stakeholders are the basis of the panel discussions. Whenever necessary, issues of construction-processes are discussed form the perspective of other scientific disciplines. Participants are encouraged to think outside of the box and develop future visions of construction processes themselves.
Topics:
- Research at the Institute of Construction Process and Construction Economics
- Future issues for the planner
- Future issues for the contractor
- Future issues for construction management and consulting
- Developments for the construction Industry
