Research and Development in Construction

Typical Qualifying R&D Activities

Creating or improving construction materials to enhance performance, sustainability, or cost-effectiveness. This can include developing materials with better thermal properties, higher strength-to-weight ratios, or environmental benefits such as recyclability or reduced carbon footprint.

Innovating in construction methods to improve efficiency, reduce costs, or enable the construction of more complex structures. This includes advancements in modular and off-site construction, 3D printing of building components, and the development of new assembly or installation techniques.

Implementing sustainable practices and technologies to minimize the environmental impact of construction projects. Projects may focus on reducing waste, using sustainable or recycled materials, improving energy efficiency, or integrating renewable energy solutions into building designs.

Developing or enhancing BIM tools and techniques to improve the design, planning, and management of construction projects. This can include creating more detailed and integrated models, improving data management, or developing new software functionalities for collaboration and project visualization.

Innovating new technologies or methodologies to enhance health and safety on construction sites. This involves developing advanced safety equipment, monitoring systems, or procedures to reduce risks and ensure compliance with health and safety regulations.

Researching and developing new structural design techniques that improve the efficiency, stability, or functionality of buildings and infrastructure. This can include innovations in load-bearing systems, earthquake-resistant designs, or the use of advanced computational methods for structural analysis.

Designing buildings that use advanced technologies and materials to significantly reduce energy consumption. This includes projects focused on improving insulation, integrating smart energy management systems, or utilizing passive solar design principles.

Creating new or improved insulation materials and techniques to enhance acoustic and thermal performance in buildings. Projects may involve the development of multi-functional insulation systems or innovative applications of existing materials.

Integrating smart technologies into construction processes and building operations. This includes the development of IoT devices for monitoring construction site conditions, smart building systems for automated management of building environments, or advanced software for project management and coordination.

Advancing the design and construction of infrastructure projects such as bridges, roads, and tunnels. This can involve the development of new construction techniques, materials, or systems to improve the durability, safety, and efficiency of civil engineering projects.
