About this scholarship
Description/Applicant information
The Sustainable Built Environment National Research Centre (SBEnrc), headquartered at Curtin University, is the successor to the CRC for Construction Innovation
and is Australia’s national centre for construction research. The
Centre has earned a national and international reputation for delivering
leading research outcomes through collaborative projects and active
dissemination involving industry and government, employers and employees
across the building and infrastructure sectors.
The Australian research supervisor for the two
Masters by Research/ Master of Philosophy students is likely to be Keith

Eligible courses
The theme of the research is measuring the
performance of delivering and managing constructed facilities - building
and infrastructure. In particular, the research will examine
productivity and economic benefits of digital modelling (BIM/ VDC) and
integrated project delivery in the delivery process. In this
industry-based research, the team will develop performance measures for
the digital transfer of information throughout the project life cycle,
including asset management.
Experience and/or interest in the link between productivity and economics growth in the construction industry, especially as it relates to productivity gains through improved digital interoperability and documentation quality would be a distinct advantage.
It is envisaged that one Australian and one Scandinavian student will be selected for these two prestigious scholarships. One element of the research may involve a comparative analysis of practices on Australian and Scandinavian building or infrastructure projects. Accordingly, applicants with an interest in travelling to Scandinavia/Australia coupled with appropriate language skills are particularly encouraged to apply.
It is likely that the successful applicants would have an academic and /or industry background in engineering, built environment or business; though applicants from other disciplines should not be discouraged from applying if they are enthusiatic about this research theme.
