Overview

The built environment is fundamental to shaping our cities and regions and plays a pivotal role in achieving a wealthier, fairer, healthier and safer society. The provision of well-designed, functional and energy-efficient buildings is now an essential pre-requisite within today’s society.

The construction process is complex, as it requires collaboration of multiple organisations and specialists over the whole life cycle of the built asset.

Features

It is influenced by client requirements and expectations, government policies and regulations, the development of new technologies, economic and social trends, as well as the demands of sustainable development.

The aim of Construction Management and Innovation research at Heriot-Watt University is to come up with new solutions to address these challenges facing the construction sector.
