Distributed Virtual Workspace for Enhancing Communication within the Construction Industry

Objective

The project primarily addresses Workplace Design by developing, integrating and evaluating innovative workplace technologies for creating innovative and new workplace environments in the building industry sector. It aims to improve the process of building design and construction by enabling the user groups to operate both more efficiently and with better interaction.

The project addresses the three key building construction phases:
Client-Briefing, which requires detailed interaction with the client;
Design Review, which requires detailed input from multidisciplinary teams of architects, engineers, and designers; and Construction, whose function is to fabricate and/or refurbish the building/s.

The objective is to produce a prototype virtual workspace that will enable the three key phases to be visualised and manipulated, thus enabling better design and planning through greater interaction between all stakeholders. This will result in improved productivity and design; lower building costs with reduced waste, and improved safety both in the final building and also the construction process. The key milestones are the development of three modules for construction workspaces and their integration into the prototype system.
