CIB TG 90 Call for Case Studies (original) (raw)

This is can open call for case studies. I am co-authoring a book on integration within the built environment sector. This publication is conceived as a vision statement for rising up to Global Challenges such as design for an ageing population, while dealing with the persistent industry issues such as fragmentation, low levels of innovation and productivity; and skills shortages. Alternative business models that transcend the existing organisational and contractual boundaries, can facilitate this integration. The book will include demonstration projects where information and knowledge has been integrated through such alternative models, which may or may not have been formalised. This is an open call for case studies of ‘integrated design & delivery (IDD)’ in small-to-medium-scale housing, building and infrastructure projects in your locality. This integration could have happened at any of the levels or stages in the project life-cycle. Therefore, projects where only partial integration was achieved are also welcome. Please send me (ekurul@brookes.ac.uk) a short paragraph (200-300 words) describing the project, and what data and information integration has been achieved. If this case study has already been published, please send us either the publication or its full-reference. Please do get in touch if you have any questions about this call.
