SLIDE 3 Australia’s Construction Industry
- A$160B = US$160B = €120B pa turnover
- Employs 1 million people
- 250,000 firms many small firms …
- Growing and slowing at same time …
– Residential, Commercial, Industrial – Resources & Mining, Infrastructure

SLIDE 4
- Slower in productivity growth than others
– nationally and internationally
- Safety remains an issue
- Strong growth in green construction
- Declining public support for R&D as private
support grows

SLIDE 38 Object Libraries
Open source digital modelling object library
- In Australia approximately 20,000 “design”
firms creating their own product libraries
– Poor efficiency – No interoperability – No consideration of downstream use
- Product manufacturers need to support
multiple tools
– Want single point of distribution

SLIDE 43 Managing a Portfolio of Buildings
43
- Queensland Government Assets
– 1,300 schools, 70 TAFE campuses – 200 owned office buildings
- 1 million m2 office space
– 65,000 units of social housing – 14 Correctional Centres – 170 Hospitals & Healthcare centres – 340 police stations – Major cultural buildings
SLIDE 44 Managing a Portfolio of Buildings
44
- How do we manage all of these?
- Build an asset register
– Support strategic planning – Characterize by building type – Data collection through annual surveys – High level modelling of portfolio
