Built environment process re-engineering (PRE): Research program

In many industries the great proportion of recent growth in productivity has conjoined the applying of IT. Continually accelerating global cycles (e.g. the growing knowledge and power of end users, sustainability requirements and financial restrictions) are forcing the most public and private organizations to adapt to the great rate of change. In Finland, Built Environment Process Re-engineering (PRE) -research program creates the means howthe real estate and construction (REC) cluster can serve as a newenabler of other industries' growth and development. The parties in the research consortium are key players in the construction and property industry that have world-class expertise in the development and use of new technologies.
