About Centre of 5G Digital Building Technology
The NUS Centre for 5G Digital Building Technology (5GDBT) aims to increase productivity by using digital building technology innovation and practice to transform the way people design, deliver and manage the built environment. This will support the construction sector, as it results in cost reductions, higher quality of work, improved safety and better performance of facilities over the entire life cycle. The 5GDBT is hosted by the Department of the Built Environment.
A leading global centre, influencing the state of art of digital building technologies across research, industry and education.
To transform the way people design, deliver and manage the built environment through digital building technology innovation and practice.
- High-impact research that advances the boundaries of digital building technologies
- Broad-based education to nurture thinkers and leaders of the future
- Collaboration with industry stakeholders to enable more effective adoption of digital building technologies such as BIM, XR, IoT,data analytics,LiDAR etc.
The Centre has developed an Integration Roadmap to augment the digital building capability of the Singapore's construction industry. It seeks to improve quality and productivity by transforming the way people design, deliver and manage the built environment through digital building innovation and practice.
The proposed Centre will have the following objectives:
- To become a leading global centre in digital building Integration through high impact research, broad-based education, and implementing best practices
- To augment the digital building capability of the Singapore's construction industry and facilitate its adoption
- To transform the way people design, deliver and manage the built environment through digital building innovation and practice
- It will assist the local construction industry to improve quality and Productivity by transforming the way people design, deliver and manage the built environment through digital building innovation and practice. This will deliver greater value to clients and users in terms of cost reduction, higher quality, safety, and better performance of facilities over the entire life cycle
