ABSTRACT
The construction industry stands at a critical juncture in the pursuit of sustainability, facing the dual challenges of meeting growing infrastructure demands while mitigating its environmental footprint. This research investigates the application of Circular Economy (CE) principles within the Temporary Works (TW) domain in the construction industry.
TW are essential for the safe and efficient execution of construction projects and the management of these works requires rigorous inspection protocols. This paper proposes using Building Information Management (BIM) technology to systematically collect and organise inspection data detailing the condition and performance of TW, and to create detailed assembly/disassembly relationships between structural elements.
This paper wants to provide actionable insights for stakeholders, advancing sustainable construction practices and paving the way for a more resilient and resource-efficient built environment.
