Through construction substantial and lasting value is created for society. The production of buildings, facilities and infrastructure, however, is a comparatively long and resource-intensive process with many stakeholders involved. Nowadays, such investments are often realised in collaboration between the public sector and private companies. The building and property industry is today also increasingly facing challenges as an aged built environment is in dire need of maintenance, repair and remodelling. How these activities are organized and implemented is of great importance for the outcome and this is the focus of the divisions´ research.
Urbanization, sustainability,
digitalization, economic fluctuations, and globalized workforce are among the
issues at the top of the agenda posing great demands on the built environment. Our research aims to contribute to the
management of the complex challenges towards more efficient processes, sound
products, and a more sustainable society. We perform interdisciplinary research
involving the entire construction process. In both our research and education
we have close cooperation with the construction sector and its multiple actors.
Our research focuses on four main
areas:
- Understanding
and developing construction processes from integrated human, values and
sustainability perspectives
- Understanding
and developing forms and processes of projects, organization and leadership
- Understanding,
design, implementation and use of information and technology
- Understanding
and developing strategy and innovation of the construction sector and its
actors
