Defining a Digital Transformation Framework for increasing the productivity and value generation of construction supply chains

建筑信息建模(BIM)被越来越多地采用，这是一项也被视为颠覆性技术的开创性创新，引发了建筑业的一场革命。英国、瑞典和挪威等国已经制定了积极的目标，以降低成本和生态足迹，并将交付时间提高30%至50%。加拿大正在落后于这一国际运动，这不仅对建筑业的竞争力有直接影响，而且对它为加拿大社会创造的价值以及减少其整体环境足迹的潜力也有直接影响。加拿大的研究和教育也落后，使该行业无法培养具备BIM基本能力的高素质人才(HQP)。该研究项目旨在与代表整个建筑环境生态系统的10个行业合作伙伴密切合作，开发一种以数据为中心的模式，以在建筑资产的整个生命周期中实现价值创造和管理的最大化。

The increasing adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM), a seminal innovation also considered as disruptive technologies, has triggered a revolution in the construction industry. Aggressive goals have been set by countries such as UK, Sweden and Norway to reduce cost and ecological footprint, and improving delivery time by 30 to 50%. Canada is lagging behind this international movement, which has a direct impact not only on the construction industry's competiveness, but also on the value it creates for the Canadian society as well as the potential to reduce its overall environmental footprint. Research and education in Canada are also lagging behind, denying the industry of highly Qualified Personnel (HQP) with essential competences in BIM. This research project aims at developing, in close collaboration with 10 industry partners representing the whole built environment ecosystem, a data-centered model for maximizing value creation and management of building assets through their complete lifecycle.
