The vision for the SBEnrc is

to be an enduring world-class research and knowledge broker in sustainable infrastructure and building design, construction and management to enhance the performance of Australia’s built environment industry.

The SBEnrc’s objectives are to

• implement a unique collaborative and strategic approach to built environment research in Australia, capitalising on members’ regional and national advantage and leveraging regional learnings and benefits nationally
• collaborate across organisational, state and national boundaries to develop a strong network of built environment research stakeholders (industry professionals, regulators and researchers) building on the relationships and history of achievement recorded throughout the CRC for Construction Innovation (2001-2009)
• establish members as international leaders in sustainable built environment research and practice and lead the international research agenda
• build collaborative industry research teams and apply cross-disciplinary approaches in areas of digital modelling, sustainability, safety, and procurement fields, providing opportunities for new value-adding collaborations between industry and researchers
• attract new research students to study at member universities and provide research training and linkage opportunities for industry members.
