ABOUT

Construction research promotes quantitative and computational works due to its ability to replicate, investigate, understand, and address real problems. The Data Analysis and Modelling in Construction (DAMiC-Lab) will be a hub for research and scholarship on applied and innovative quantitative methods for modelling, measuring, quantifying, assessing, analysing and optimising the processes and products of construction and its relationships with society, the economy and the environment. The Lab will be committed to discovering new knowledge and interpretation of facts relevant to construction and related subjects based on systems theory and quantitative computations providing a holistic view of complex and dynamic research issues. The Lab will promote pure and strategic basic research and applied research, and will also conduct experimental development and engagement research. The Lab will bring together existing research expertise of construction management researchers in the School of Architecture and Built Environment at Deakin University, and build on interdisciplinary expertise and cutting-edge technologies. The Lab will create opportunities for construction management researchers to collaborate with other institutions. It will provide a platform for engagement, dialogue, and skills enhancement for its members and the research and practitioner community at large.
