This session marks the release of a new NRC–EllisDon industry report that provides a practical framework for modernizing building rehabilitation projects through BIM, reality capture, and structured information management. Insights from the Place du Portage III renewal project, the report demonstrates how digital workflows including laser scanning, scan-to-BIM, common data environments, and BIM-enabled carbon monitoring can improve project delivery, increase productivity, and support decarbonization objectives. This session includes insights into a scalable implementation framework aligned with ISO 19650 and how digital transformation can help owners, designers, and contractors deliver better outcomes across the asset lifecycle.
Dr. Farzad Jalaei is a research officer at the construction research center - National Research Council Canada (NRC). He has a Ph.D. degree in Construction Engineering and Management from University of Ottawa followed by three years academic experience at Polytechnique Montreal and Concordia universities. At NRC, He is currently leading a theme under the “NRC national platform to decarbonize construction sector at scale”relevant to digital construction solutions and data interoperability under Construction Sector Digitalization and Productivity (CSDP) Challenge Program. Activities within this platform seek to improve construction sector innovation potential, productivity, and the pace at which low-carbon solutions can be deployed in new and retrofit construction projects. As a research officer and a digitalization of construction processes lead, Farzad is supporting external stakeholder discussions / explore potential opportunities for collaborating on digital construction applications with several industry/ university and other government departments.
