Offsite construction: Developing a BIM-Based optimizer for assembly (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 Elsevier Ltd The lack of adequate consideration of the underlying factors affecting the methods of building assembly often results in inefficiencies in the uses of building materials, equipment and manpower. These inefficiencies are further co... Read More about Offsite construction: Developing a BIM-Based optimizer for assembly.

Dynamic relationship between embodied and operational impacts of buildings: An evaluation of sustainable design appraisal tools (2019)
Journal Article

Purpose – Buildings and their construction activities consume a significant proportion of mineral resources excavated from nature and contribute a large percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere. As a way of improving the sustainability of building constru...
