Education and training 6.3 Scholarship program New Construction Innovation scholars 2006–07 Name Degree Project title University participant Principal academic supervisor Industry supervisor Date awarded 1. Soon Kam Lim PhD Decision-making processes for sustainable construction QUT Associate Professor Jay Yang Derek Skinner Queensland Department of Main Roads 1 October 2006 Soon Kam’s research will develop an integrated decision-making tool for industry clients, consultants and contractors to improve collaboration, consultation and communication between decision-makers of infrastructure project delivery to achieve improved sustainability outcomes. The intended benefits to industry include improved understanding among stakeholders and better sustainability reporting mechanisms. 2. Agustin Chevez Bernaldo de Quiros PhD Evolution of workplace architecture as a consequence of technology development RMIT Dr Guillermo Aranda-Mena James Calder Woods Bagot 18 September 2006 Agustin’s research will identify changes in the way workplaces are used to design new office environments and redevelop existing ones with a holistic approach to maintain a balance amongst people, space and technology in the Australian context. The intended outcomes for industry from this research will also assist Facility Managers to strategically plan their workspace changes due to alternative ways of working. 3. Abdulkader Sharabah PhD A reliability based predictive model for building asset management RMIT Associate Professor Sujeeva Setunge Axl Driml Queensland Department of Public Works 18 September 2006 Abdul’s research will develop a deterioration model for building asset management capable of predicting the distributions of future conditioned states of building elements for asset management systems through data collection, data inspection, performance modelling and forecasting. The intended benefits to industry include tools to support decisions on maintenance priority in relation to all building elements. 4. Robert Lopez PhD The impact of poor quality design documentation on construction buildability/ project management Curtin Professor Peter Love Peter Tilley Western Australian Department of Housing and Works 7 May 2007 Robert’s research will identify design errors as a ‘project pathogen’ and quantify their financial impact on projects, and underlie a taxonomy of design errors and strategies to reduce or mitigate them. It is anticipated that the research outcomes will highlight how fewer design errors will result in less waste, less rework and improved project performance in terms of schedule and cost. 1.
