All based out of the University of Auckland, together they make up the research team focused on Smart Construction in the HERA led and Endeavour Funded Construction 4.0 research via MBIE: “Developing a Construction 4.0 transformation of Aotearoa New Zealand’s construction sector,”

Join us as we explore the technological shifts reshaping the global construction sector, focusing on Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Construction 4.0 technologies like virtual reality, AI, and robotics. Discover how these tools revolutionise Aotearoa New Zealand’s construction landscape, especially for SMEs. We also discuss preliminary research findings, case studies, and the challenges of data acquisition and change management, as well as the importance of global collaboration, integrating academic research with industry practices, and incorporating indigenous knowledge and sustainability metrics.

We are close to releasing the first book publication “Ngākopa Construction 4.0” which explores why Construction 4.0 in Aotearoa makes sense. It will share insights and integrated connections across the core themes of the research – and will be a valuable resource for those interested in the future of construction or wanting to take the journey towards implementing Construction 4.0 in their business.
