ABSTRACT

The ‘3D to nD Modeling’ project at the University of Salford aims to support integrated design; to enable and equip the design and construction industry with a tool that allows users to create, and share, contemplate and apply knowledge from multiple perspectives of user requirements such as accessibility, maintainability, sustainability, acoustics, crime, energy simulation, scheduling and costing (Lee et al., 2002). This chapter presents the author’s initiative to expand such research effort to address safety during construction.
