Research on blockchain technology implementation within civil engineering is quickly emerging. The use of blockchain for the integration of the material and economic flows within construction supply chain – thus creating a new digital... more
Although their potential for high environmental performance is largely accepted, adaptive façades have not yet become widespread in practice. Most of the current examples are developed by engineer-to-order design processes, as... more
Within the Nigerian and Sub-Saharan African construction industries generally there has been a lack of research profiling the constructability practices of contractors and possible barriers to the use of appropriate methods. The aim of... more
Coordinate mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEPF) projects is a great challenge. The inability in identify conflicts in 2D-drawings create delays in the construction process and the increase of the administration burden due the... more
The construction industry suffers from the lack of adoption of advanced technologies. As a consequence, construction is among the least productive industries across various sectors. The researchers often point out that the critical issue... more
• Constructability: the optimum use of construction knowledge and experience in planning, design, procurement and field operations to achieve overall project objectives • Sustainability: the concept of promoting the development that meets... more
The use of a relationship based procurement method is promoted by many authors in the past few years. The construction industry is encouraged to adopt a relational contract in an effort to overcome its perceived problems prevail in the... more

Opportunities offered by the explosion of Information Technology (IT) tools are not being adequately used to solve productivity, schedule, cost and quality problems faced by the design and construction of industrial projects. The... more
Traditional construction scheduling approaches have proved not to have the capacity to produce and make it easily and timely available the information needed for a latter effective and efficient construction control and execution... more
Resumo. Avanços no Design Computacional associados ao conceito de modularidade e parametrização, racionalização da construção e Machine Learning, trouxeram possibilidades advindas do desenvolvimento da Inteligência Artrificial. Com o... more
Increased competitiveness in the construction industry requires the improvement of a construction company’s capabilities to combine quality with economic and schedule aspects. Many studies and procedures in quality improvement focus on... more
Practitioners and construction management researchers lack believable and practical methods to assess the value proposition of emerging methods such as Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) including understanding how different levels of... more
La constructabilidad es un programa de mejoramiento continuo, que introduce la experiencia constructiva en etapas previas del proyecto. La implantación de la constructabilidad en una empresa promotora de viviendas en la ciudad de... more
