Division 06 — Innovation
Research, Testing and Commercialisation in Construction Technology
Building Solution Australia's Innovation division is a platform for research, testing, and commercialisation — covering artificial intelligence, construction automation, robotics, modern methods of construction, sustainability, and next-generation building systems.
Focus Areas
Six Innovation Domains
Artificial Intelligence
Application of AI to construction planning, design optimisation, procurement, quality management, and project analytics — supporting better decisions across the project lifecycle.
BIM and Digital Twins
Advanced BIM workflows and digital twin development — linking design models to construction progress, quality records, and asset data for informed project management.
Construction Automation and Robotics
Research and testing of construction automation and robotics technologies — including automated fabrication, robotic assembly, and site automation for improved productivity and safety.
Modern Methods of Construction
Development and application of modern methods of construction — including design for manufacture and assembly, industrialised construction, and new construction systems — to improve productivity and quality.
Sustainability and Low-Waste Construction
Research and application of sustainable construction practices — including low-waste construction, energy efficiency, embodied carbon reduction, and sustainable material selection.
New Materials and Product Testing
Evaluation and testing of new building materials, products, and systems — including performance testing, compliance assessment, and integration with Australian Standards and NCC requirements.
Research
Research and Industry Collaboration
Our research agenda is shaped by the most significant challenges facing the Australian construction industry — and the technologies most likely to address them.
- University collaboration and research partnerships — where confirmed and documented
- Research institution engagement for product testing and performance evaluation
- Government programs supporting housing productivity and modern construction methods
- Industry standards development and contribution to Australian construction practice
- Future construction systems research — including next-generation framing, cladding, and building envelope systems
- Construction workforce capability development and training in new technologies
