Public agencies, private corporations, nonprofit institutions, and other organizations regularly invest millions of dollars in acquiring buildings and other constructed facilities to support their lines of business. For this investment, the owner receives a complex structure composed of hundreds of separate but interrelated components, including roofs, walls, foundations, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, ventilation, fire, communication, safety, and architectural systems. These components and systems must all be maintained and repaired to optimize the facility's performance throughout its service life and to provide a safe, healthy, and productive environment for its users and occupants. Linking the Construction Industry: Electronic Operation and Maintenance Manuals is a summary of a workshop that was held at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C., on October 13, 1999. The workshop, planned and organized by the Federal Facilities Council and the National Institute of Building Sciences, brought together an invited audience of building industry stakeholders, including owners and operators from federal agencies and other organizations, building component and system manufacturers, publishers of building product data and maintenance manuals, and CMMS software developers to revisit the issue of electronic operation and maintenance manuals.

The construction industry has developed an image of being the least developed sector of the economy in most countries. The industry is consistently being accused of failing its customers and providing products and services that do not meet expectations. The C21 steering committee has led a national review of the state of the construction industry in Singapore, which was completed, with the publication of the C21 report in October 1999. The report provided an analysis of the state of the industry and a set of recommendations. The committee set a vision for the construction industry for the 21st century to be a world-class builder in the knowledge age. This study builds on the work of the C21 Steering Committee and working groups, and the conclusions of the C21 report. The eight-month study addresses the question of how Singapore's construction industry can change and improve itself. The study starts with a comparison of the C21 report with similar reviews in the UK and Australia. The main fundamental problems and challenges facing the construction industry are not unique but universal. The latest review in the UK, which was one of several in the last 50 years, was different as it was mainly client led. The Australian initiative was part of a national action agenda to improve the different sectors of the industry. This had an impact on the nature of the conclusions and recommendations. The study examined the impact of the C21 report on the construction industry. The study received and analysed survey responses from 200 companies involved in construction including clients, contractors, subcontractors, consultants, specialist contractors, suppliers and manufacturers. The study has established that the level of awareness of the C21 report is not high. Also the respondents provided only moderate support to the potential of the C21 to improve the state of the industry. Therefore, the study strongly recommends a more effective dissemination program to inform the industry of the rationale and philosophies of C21. This program should include discussion forums and feedback on the barriers and enablers for greater improvements. The study has identified 12 key factors that are seen to impede the attempts of the industry to improve its business activities. The industry has, collectively, also identified the main problems to be: client focus on the lowest price at the tendering stage; and the narrow profit margins in construction business activities. However, the different sectors in the industry expressed different views. The study then examined the C21 strategic thrusts and studied the possible enablers and motivators that would help the industry to achieve improvements under nine several categories. The study also explored the differing views in the different groupings. Upon closer examination of the results of the study, one theme that underpins many of the potential solutions is that sustained improvement in a market driven economy can only be recognized by creating the market forces that would demand these improvements. Therefore, the study recommends that an effective way to improve construction business is to adopt a market driven agenda for improvement aimed at delivering changes and improvements that are focused on providing better value products and services to the customer. A key to the achievement of this aim is for the clients of the construction industry led by the biggest among them, to adopt practices that would facilitate this change and empower the industry to realize its potential.

This book gathers papers from the 11th Construction Industry Development Board (cidb) Postgraduate Research Conference, held on 28–30 July 2019 in Johannesburg, South Africa. The conference provided an essential forum for reviewing and generating knowledge on Construction 4.0 and, consequently, highlighted processes and practices that allow us to deliver and operate built environment assets more effectively and efficiently by focusing on physical-to-digital and digital-to-physical transformation. The event addressed three broad themes: Industrial production (prefabrication, 3-D printing and assembly, offsite and advanced manufacturing); Cyber-physical systems (actuators, sensors, IoT, robots and cobots for repetitive and dangerous tasks, and drones for mapping, progress monitoring, safety and quality inspections, lifting, moving and positioning); and Technologies (digital ecosystems, digital platforms, BIM, video and laser scanning, AI and cloud computing, big data and data analytics, reality capture, blockchain, simulation, virtual and augmented reality, data standards and interoperability, and vertical and horizontal integration). Given its scope, the book will be of interest to all construction industry and architectural professionals who want to learn about cutting-edge technologies applied to construction
