Abstract
nD modelling is a research topic that has started to gain momentum and interest worldwide. This roadmap is an update of the 2005 RICS paper series ‘nD modelling - a driver or enabler for construction improvement?’ (Lee et al, 2005). This paper accumulates the results of 5 workshops to produce a ‘roadmap’ of how nD modelling can help the design and construction industries to improve their performance, and is the result of an international effort to create a blueprint of the research and technology milestones that are necessary to achieve improved construction practice. The issues surrounding nD are not just technological, but are also cultural, educational and process related. The findings of all the workshops were clustered into themes and are presented as repertory grids in the final roadmap. Whilst this report highlights both the barriers and opportunities of implementing nD modelling in the construction industry, the roadmap presents a research agenda for the global uptake of nD modelling. It shows that the concentration of effort should be placed on the education and training activities to heighten the level of industry’s awareness of nD modelling, with the technology itself being of a lower importance. Although the use of building electronic product models is not widespread in the industry at the present time, its need is seen to be self evident.
