Abstract
Integrated Design Solutions (IDS) connect people,
processes and technology in the construction industry,
transforming it into a high performance sector. An
integrated system incorporates building concepts,
business processes, production technologies, information
& communications technologies support, and training. This
enables future construction to act as a flexible, agile,
value-driven and knowledge based industry and most of all
to be highly customer-centric, efficient and competitive.
The first international conference of CIB's new Priority
Theme: Integrated Design Solutions (IDS) took place on
10-12 June, 2009 in Espoo, Finland. The conference
attracted forty five experts from twelve countries
worldwide. They represented the views and expertise of
industry, academia, and research. They shared their
research, ideas, and thoughts during themed sessions on:
Utilisation of Building Information Models: BIMs as
vehicles for simulation and virtual prototyping; BIM for
supporting safety process on construction sites; use of
BIM for location tracking of construction components; use
of BIM to generate design alternatives and construction
process sets.
Integrated Processes: knowledge sharing processes to
supported integrated design and construction;
identification and classification of challenges in
integrated design; need to share processes across
disciplines; using BIMs to structure and manage tasks on
construction projects.
Sustainability: improving building design through
parallel building and environmental costing; human
thermal responses in energy-efficient buildings;
environmental assessment of buildings.
Beyond Building Information Models: connecting structural
buildings models to different construction classification
systems; optimisation of construction planning through
virtual prototyping and BIMs; integrated design systems
for homes; BIM as a service offering; IT-based innovation
in construction; construction automation for modular
assembly.
User value trough collaboration: knowledge based design
integration; automation technology for realising as-build
models of services.
