“For Lendlease, the CRC program is a great opportunity for us to not only test and use tech- nology to develop new ways of working, but to find ways of working collaboratively with the broader industry.”
Professor Mark Cassidy, Dean of Melbourne School of Engineering at the University of Mel- bourne, said the building industry needs to lead digital disruption to ensure it gains a first- mover advantage.
He said these reforms are only achievable with significant innovation
and collaboration across the
industry.
“The purpose is to transform the way that consumers and builders design and buy build- ings by providing easy-to-use browsing-based software that allows them to custom-design, visualise and price buildings in an engineering compliant way,” he said.
The bid comprises 28 leading players in com- mercial industry, university, industry bodies and government partners, with the results an- nounced December 2019.
