Automation and Robotisation in Construction and Transition Management

number of problems in the construction industry could be solved with the aid of automation and robotisation technologies. There are indications that automation and robotisation processes are similar to transition processes. Recent years have seen a good deal of research into these kinds of often complex processes and how to manage them. This knowledge may provide the inspiration required to solve the problems in the construction industry through an increase in the exchange of available (tacit) knowledge. This paper looks at this issue at the level of multidisciplinary, collaborative expert designers. II. PROBLEMS The problems today in the building industry are that the client and society do not get the value they want. Clients are users, investors, owners, lessors and producers of real estate objects. Their values are profitability, usability, flexibility and quality. Society wants to save energy and avoid waste and pollution. • Some problems underlying those mentioned above may be: • A lack of specific working methods for expert designers to work with one another and with clients. • A lack of suitable competences of the client and expert designers that enable them to work with one another.
