dc.description.abstractThe construction industry is a very conservative sector often characterized by a low level of innovation, risk adverse and reluctant to embrace new technologies. The construction sector has been hesitant to fully embrace digital innovation opportunities, though there is an increasing awareness of the huge challenges needed to respond and adapt to digital changes. This research work follows a continuous interplay between Digital Transformation and its adoption and use on the building and construction sector. The primary objective of this work is to propose a novel digital framework by applying the concept of industry 4.0 to the construction industry, a new Construction 4.0 vision. In the next decade, it is expected that digital technologies will have a disruptive impact in building and construction, revolutionizing every stage of a building life cycle. The adoption of smart technologies, the embedding of technology in products and structures, the emergence of standardized solutions, will be vital to perform the digital change. On the other hand, the adoption of circular economy practices in combination with Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies will foster greater resource productivity and material sustainability, reducing waste through the recycling of used products into new materials for printing building components. The possibility to design modular, flexible, more resilient buildings, exploring novel AM processes and new multipurpose sustainable materials can be a driving force for society to move forward towards a more sustainable pathway. This new framework will enable the construction sector to explore the entrepreneurship potential for new integrated companies to emerge and an increased mobility across construction. Moreover, it will encourage the adoption of new and unique standards and ultimately leads to more efficiency and effectiveness in the construction sector.pt_PT
