Published by: Strat-CON Consortium constituting: VTT - Technical Research Centre of Finland (www.vtt.fi) CSTB - Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment, France (www.cstb.fr) TU - Wien, Vienna University of Technology, Austria (http://www.tuwien.ac.at/) Strat-CON has been partially funded through the collaboration of different national programmes promoting sustainable construction and operation of buildings under the ERABUILD programme (www.erabuild.net). Executive Summary The construction sector is characterised by delivery of one-of-a-kind product and service delivery through competence sharing between different organisations (some of which may be unknown to others). ICT usage in the sector is limited and lags far behind other manufacturing sectors. The ROADCON project offered a vision for ICT in construction in addition to a set of roadmaps across 12 thematic areas. It did not however provide a means (in terms of research plans) for realisation of the vision. This report presents the Strat-CON project which was initiated to align the ROADCON roadmaps with the main thematic areas addressed by the European Construction Technology Plat- form’s focus area on processes and ICT. Strat-CON furthermore through stakeholder interaction, has identified and developed a set of strategic actions for realising the vision of ICT in construction. Figure P - 1 illustrates the eight main themes (for whom roadmaps were developed) along with their respective topics.

Virtual Products Communication between ICT systems Figure P - 1: Main Themes and Corresponding Topics A set of key business drivers were identified for each roadmap supported by a set of key research topics (see Table P - 1). Furthermore, a set of short, medium and long term items (research topics) in terms of time-to-industry were identified for each roadmap. Through a series of interactive inter- national workshops for each roadmap a list of strategic actions were identified to support realisation of the short, medium and long term items identified. Furthermore, some of the identified strategic actions were detailed. An overall summary of the Strat-CON project outputs is presented in Figure P - 2. - iii - Table P - 1: Main Themes and Corresponding Business Drivers and Key Research Topics Themes Main Business Drivers Key Research Topics performance-driven process, value to cus- performance-driven processes, process Value-driven business tomer, total life-cycle support, product and orchestration, metrics, indicators, require- processes service customisation ments engineering, mass customisation supply chain management, just in time ICT for modular provision of customised Industrialised produc- logistics => open market, site productivity constructions, logistics, assembly & services, tion => ambient manufacturing and construc- digital sites. tion nD models, access to life time information for semantics and interoperability => user and all stakeholders anywhere anytime; ICT for Digital models lifecycle orientation => real-time adaptive design, configuration, analysis, simulation, models. and visualisation. integrated automation and control (connec- smart embedded systems & devices for Intelligent Construc- tivity) => remote diagnostics and control monitoring and control, embedded learning & tions (serviceability) => context-aware seamless user support. configurability (adaptability) model servers, distributed adaptive compo- date/file exchange => data sharing => Interoperability nents, ontologies & open ICT standards for flexible interoperability semantic communication, ICT infrastructures rapid and easy connectivity => robust team ICT tools for information sharing, project Collaboration support interaction => seamless inter-enterprise steering, negotiations, decision support, risk integration mitigation, etc. ICT for transforming project experiences into access to knowledge => sharing structured corporate assets.
