Canada's construction industry faces a defining productivity challenge: output per worker has stagnated for decades while other sectors have transformed through digital technology adoption. The National Research Council's Digital Construction Platform (NRC DCP) represents a concerted national effort to change this trajectory—not by prescribing tools, but by establishing the interoperable digital infrastructure upon which the entire industry can build.
I have rejoined Régis Côté et Associés as Director of integrated Practices, touching on all things Lean, BIM, integration and collaboration. I am a former postdoctoral research fellow at the BIM TOPiCS Lab at the University of British Columbia. I also act as vice chair of operations and chair of communications at buildingSMART Canada. I have been recently appointed as Vice-President of the Groupe BIM du Québec. My field of work focuses on collaboration in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations (AECO) Industry, namely developing approaches to support better industry practices through Building Information Modeling (BIM), Lean and integrated approaches. I also concentrate on information lifecycles in the AECO industry and how they are being transformed through these innovations.
