چکیده
The I3CON technologies promise to deliver a transformation of the Construction sector towards a business paradigm which is more beneficial to industry stakeholders and end-users alike. However, it should be noticed that although such I3CON technologies have proven extremely useful in other areas of industry (automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, computing science and ICTs, etc.), its application in the context of construction is not direct and, much work is to be done (e.g. closing the gap between design, build and demolition phases and planning for the lifecycle) until effective deployment of such technologies is common place. Once a technological breakthrough is achieved, it must be employed by its owner as a differentiator from the rest of the market. This is another hurdle to pass. It is very often that clients do not perceive advantage but risk and are reluctant to change as the handicaps of introducing a new technology are varied: the client view of innovation, outdated regulation, insurance cost and other problems make difficult the road to industrial exploitation of R&D and can lead a company to failure in marketing innovative business models for its products and services. The technology change also brings society change. In this respect, new ways of making construction mean new ways of doing business, new services to offer and to be offered and, new relationships among stakeholders. The structural changes needed to achieve this are not easily imbued in the corporate and societal culture of the countries where we live.
