“…A recent study, investigating the state of integration in the AEC community concluded that despite the acknowledged importance of integrated practices, integration levels vary among different disciplines (Uihlein, 2013). This study unraveled some of the collaboration issues specific to the building facade sector.…”

Building facade has a significant impact on the environmental and economic performance of buildings and projects. The specification of their elements at the early design phase depends on numerous technical, environmental and economic factors and involves several stakeholders. The procurement and delivery of the facade work package from the early design phase, through detailed design and manufacture, to installation is a process with several inherent risk factors due to the involved cost, technical and engineering complexities and its position on the critical path in all projects. This research investigates the process of selection and specification of building facade elements at the early design phases with the overarching aim of identifying the issues affecting specification decisions, their root causes and impact on projects. The research utilizes a mixed research approach which combines a retrospective case study and an industry survey as two research methods that build on each other. The findings suggest that the complexity of specification at the early design phases is exacerbated by factors such as the inadequate technical knowledge of stakeholders involved in the decision making process, the non-involvement of building facade consultants, the late involvement of specialist facade subcontractors, and in a few cases by some commercial exclusivity agreements that restricts specification decisions.

“…Delivery of civil infrastructure projects involves collaboration across different kinds of firms including owners, delivery clients, consultants, contractors, and the supply-chain (e.g. Uihlein, 2013). There is a need to synthesize knowledge across their different professional expertise, roles and responsibilities to integrate elements.…”

What is the future of systems integration within civil infrastructure? This paper provides a background to systems integration; articulates the challenges of civil infrastructure in the mid‐21st century; and reviews the state‐of‐the‐art in research on systems integration in the delivery and operation of civil infrastructure. Building on the literature review it highlights opportunities that arise through reframing from projects to systems (and systems of systems), and using the potential of new forms of data analytics. It sets out a research agenda for next generation tools to visualize and understand civil infrastructure as a complex product system.
