RESEARCH AREA

A fundamental challenge in the construction industry is bridging the gap between design, realization, operate & maintain and deconstruction & reuse phases. The chair 'Construction Process Integration & ICT' addresses this challenge and focuses on more integrated decision making and more integrated ways of working and cooperating along these phases. It addresses the opportunities of increasingly advanced digital and information management solutions to support and boost more integrated practices (e.g., modular concepts, integrated project delivery, supply chain management).

The main questions that drive my research lie in the organizational and change management aspects of construction processes, such as ‘What are the organizational conditions for the successful use of digital technologies in construction?’, ‘What are the organizational effects of digital technologies?’, and ‘How can these changes be implemented successfully?’.

The development and application of advanced digital solutions (like digital twins, digital product platforms and artificial intelligence) is an important spearhead of the TNO roadmap ‘Buildings & Infrastructures’.

RECENT RESULTS

• PhD project ‘BIM maturity in the construction industry’: we analysed how variations in BIM maturity of cooperating organizations in construction projects influence the formation of the project BIM maturity. We also explored what project strategies do impact the formation of the project BIM maturity.
• PhD project ‘Governance mechanisms for ensuring information integrity over the life cycle of building components’: we developed a maturity framework for smart maintenance. The framework provides insights into the capabilities required for managing digitalized built assets in organizational networks.
• PDEng project ‘Design of a digital platform and a digital information chain for modular and industrial renovation projects’: we identified relevant working practices and needs of key stakeholders in the supply chain for the digital product platform. This is a first step towards designing a digital product platform that supports the supply chain of modular and industrial renovation projects.
