This year’s CIFE Summer Program is a global, online event. It will focus on this theme: How should owners, designers, and builders behave when projects are delivered collaboratively and digitally?
Many project teams have experienced the advantages of digitally-supported, collaborative project delivery over the past years. Hence, this approach is becoming increasingly common. To take full advantage of digital collaboration requires that project participants – from owners to subcontractors – are adjusting their behavior compared to traditional projects. For example, decisions that have been made sequentially can now be made concurrently, the role and timing of involvement of the different parties should change, the timing, direction, and quality of information and knowledge flows is often dramatically different, etc.
