While the word automation may conjure images of robots taking over jobs the reality is much more nuanced. In construction for instance automation is less likely to diminish employment opportunities than it is to increase productivity.

The key will be anticipating and preparing for the shift in part by developing new skills in the current and future workforce. This book presents all aspects of automation in construction pertaining to the use of information technologies in design engineering construction technologies and maintenance and management of constructed facilities. The broad scope encompasses all stages of the construction life cycle from initial planning and design through the construction of the facility its operation and maintenance to the eventual dismantling and recycling of buildings and engineering structures. Features: Examines Building Information Management systems allowing on-site execution of construction more efficient and for project teams to eliminate mistakes and better coordinate the workforce Presents the latest information on the automation of modular construction production in factories including 3-D printing of components such as facades or even load-bearing and essential components | Automation in Construction toward Resilience Robotics Smart Materials and Intelligent Systems
