Roadcon is a strategic roadmap project focusing on ICT in the construction sector. It aims to suggest R&D actions for the upcoming FP6 program, enhance collaboration, and promote knowledge-intensive processes in construction. The project addresses key topics such as model-based ICT, e-commerce, standards, and more. By engaging stakeholders, it seeks to develop sustainable construction practices and innovative business models.

ROADCONStrategic Roadmap towards Knowledge-Driven Sustainable Construction European project IST-2001-37278Expected to start 1 June 2002
ROADCON in a nutshell • ROADCON is a strategic RTD roadmap project on ICT in the construction sector. • As a roadmap project it will suggest and prepare actions for the forthcoming European 6th Framework Programme (FP6). • It addresses "New ways of working and electronic commerce" (Key Action II) of the "Information Societies Technologies" (IST) programme. This is the area where most EC projects related to ICT in the construction sector are positioned. • The proposal was submitted to the EC on the 21st of February 2002 and has been accepted. It is currently in final phase of contract negotiation with the EC. • It will start in June 2002 and end in May 2003 which is before the anticipated 1st call for RTD proposals in FP6.
Main aims • Form a strategyfor future research and development on ICT in construction. • Prepare and suggest RTD actions and priorities for the construction sector in the forthcoming European 6th Framework Programme (FP6) and also to the EC. • Identify key actors and stakeholders and prepare co-operation between them. • Seek consensus among research, business and user organisations.
Topics Examples of potential topics for FP6: • Model based ICT • Collaboration platforms • Knowledge sharing in construction projects • Life cycle support, facilities management (FM) • E-business and e-marketplaces • Best practices & demonstrations & deployment. • Standards • Contractual & legal issues • Mobile applications • Web services • Product libraries + intelligent objects. • User interfaces, 3D & Virtual Reality • Simulation and optimisation • Geographical Information Systems (GIS) • ... • More suggestions are expected from various interest groups. An underpinning idea in many of these themes is computer-interpretable (model-based) information that will enable enhanced automation, integration and communication in construction. The aim is to pave way towards new knowledge intensive processes in construction. Identifying and promoting new business models will be a key issue in parallel with any technology theme. Other important aspects: working condition,sustainability, etc.
Detailed objectives • Establish a forum of key actors in the European Building Construction sector contributing to FP6. • Develop a vision for sustainable and knowledge intensive construction. • Achieve consensus on industry requirements, research and development priorities, regarding tools, infrastructures and processes for design / construction / maintenance. • Suggest practical measures for developing, agreeing, promoting standards to be adopted by the industry. • Set up a mechanism for on-going analysis of the impact of RTD projects. • Suggest methods for collaboration and coordination in major FP6 initiativesfor construction. • Suggest methods for increased co-operation between European and national RTD projects.
