"The built environment is prevalent for living and working. SIPM is a multi-disciplinary research group looking to identify, articulate and address the challenges faced by the construction industry and built environment. The research group works across various subject areas to identify how we design, deliver, and utilise built environment assets and infrastructure differently, considering challenges that impact both locally and globally.
Research group work covers infrastructure, project management, digital transformation, and engineering economics to address wider questions of how we create a resilient infrastructure and built environment in the face of local & global changes. New ideas and approaches require new skills for the construction industry; we work with construction companies to look at new delivery modes and support the development of the professions to meet these new requirements.
The research group signifies the convolution of the questions posed for the construction industry and recognises that for research to have an impact, it must be driven by collaboration with all stakeholders to improve the well-being of citizens, ensuring that buildings and infrastructure can meet current and future needs.
Areas: Feasibility of projects, Real estate Economics, Project management, Dispute Resolution and arbitration, Digital Transformation - BIM, Digital Twin"
