In this episode of Stirring the Pot we’re talking with Dr Alice Chang-Richards, Dr Yuqian Lu and Dr Yang Zou.
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. Special thanks to Alice, Yuchen, and Yang for their invaluable contributions to this important conversation on the future of construction.
