1. Introduction to BRE

We are an international, multi-disciplinary,

building science organisation with a

mission to improve buildings and

infrastructure through research and

knowledge generation, and their

application.

this line this line


We are owned by the BRE Trust, the largest UK

charity dedicated specifically to research and

education in the built environment

We use our cutting edge research to develop a

range of products, services, standards and

qualifications that are used around the world to

bring about positive change in the built

environment

Our independence

2. Industry Drivers, Challenges & Opportunities

Smart Construction is defined as:

“Building design, construction and operation, that

through collaborative partnerships makes full use of

digital technologies and industrialised manufacturing

techniques to improve productivity, minimise whole life

cost, improve sustainability and maximise user benefits.”

(The Construction Leadership Council’s Innovation in Buildings work stream)

National / Regional /

International Policies

For example Scotland’s ‘2050

Vision’

Scotland’s buildings are near zero

carbon by 2050 and this is achieved in

a way that is socially and

economically sustainable.

Target: Reducing carbon emissions

by 42% by 2020 and 80% by 2050 in

line with the Climate Change

(Scotland) Act 2009

11 key barriers listed in priority order:

1. Lack of collaboration

2. Lack of demand

3. Investment in suppliers who can

support Smart Construction

4. Lending, valuation & insurance

5. Immature supply chain

6. Risk-averse culture in construction

7. Procurement models

8. Business case for change

9. Requires economies of scale

10.Lack of performance data

11.Skills shortage

Integration across supply chains & Disruptors are coming

this line this line


Innovations and Technologies

to overcome these barriers

include:

• Mass customisation based on

a “platform approach”

• Automation of construction

processes

• Overcome a risk-averse

culture

• Building Information

Modelling (BIM)

• Standardisation BUT with

choice

Other Enablers necessary for

success include:

• Supply chain collaboration &

innovation

• Demonstration projects

• Insurance industry to support

Smart/Modern Construction

• Support for construction R&D

• Long-term partnering and

pipeline visibility to enable

investment

• Standards for Offsite /

manufactured buildings / mass

components

• Integrated CAD/Computer-

aided Manufacture from

design to site

• Factory productivity drives

down component costs

• Cost modelling tools and

performance data

• Robotics and automation

• Smart / Intelligent buildings

e.g. sensors / RFID tags

Innovation, technological & other

enablers to change
