The project will help improve the delivery of the new national projects by creating a world-first smart system听"CanConstructNZ"听that will model and report the dynamic inter-relationships of听New Zealand's infrastructure work pipeline against the construction sector's capacity and capability to deliver including procurement & processes, supply chain & organisations, people, and听technology & tools.
听
It is envisaged this collaborative endeavour CanConstructNZ will bring about a fundamental change in the construction sector by creating a new level of visibility for all stakeholders,听enabling investor confidence in delivery, stability of construction companies and resource planning, confidence to people seeking training and education to work in the sector.
听
Dr Eric Scheepbouwer听is one of the five core group leaders, he will lead the data contribution, management and procurement. There is also funding for a postdoc at the Universitiy of Canterbury (for five听years) and several PhD scholarships (plus stipends), so the Construction group is likely to grow a bit in future.
