Modelled on the concept of Industry 4.0, the idea of Construction
4.0 is based on a confluence of trends and technologies that
promise to reshape the way built environment assets are designed,
constructed, and operated. With the pervasive use of Building
Information Modelling (BIM), lean principles, digital technologies,
and offsite construction, the industry is at the cusp of this
transformation. The critical challenge is the fragmented state of
teaching, research, and professional practice in the built
environment sector. This handbook aims to overcome this
fragmentation by describing Construction 4.0 in the context of its
current state, emerging trends and technologies, and the people and
process issues that surround the coming transformation.
Construction 4.0 is a framework that is a confluence and
convergence of the following broad themes discussed in this book:
Industrial production (prefabrication, 3D printing and assembly,
offsite manufacture) Cyber-physical systems (actuators, sensors,
IoT, robots, cobots, drones) Digital and computing technologies
(BIM, video and laser scanning, AI and cloud computing, big data
and data analytics, reality capture, Blockchain, simulation,
augmented reality, data standards and interoperability, and
vertical and horizontal integration) The aim of this handbook is to
describe the Construction 4.0 framework and consequently highlight
the resultant processes and practices that allow us to plan,
design, deliver, and operate built environment assets more
effectively and efficiently by focusing on the physical-to-digital
transformation and then digital-to-physical transformation. This
book is essential reading for all built environment and AEC
stakeholders who need to get to grips with the technological
transformations currently shaping their industry, research, and
teaching.
