Research Program 3: Driving Productivity Through Procurement will deliver economic, environmental and social benefits to the built environment industry through reductions in risks and costs and improved productivity associated with complex information management and procurement processes on infrastructure and building projects.

Two projects have been approved: 

3.1        Collaborative Object Libraries Supporting the Facility Lifecycle

3.2        Supporting Infrastructure Management by Combining Sensors and Asset Information Models

The signature project Collaborative Object Libraries Supporting the Facility Lifecycle will define and develop a standard for a new system of creating, capturing and re-using knowledge for the civil, commercial and residential construction industry. The outcomes will lead to increased confidence when sharing information between firms, across disciplines and along the supply chain as a reliable standard will exist, ensuring that information is available when and where it is expected.
