The InPro project will completely transform the Early Design phase of a building (new or renovation) project. At this influential phase, which represents only a fraction of the lifecycle of a building, decisions are made that determine over 70% of the total lifecycle costs.The transformation will be achieved through radical Early Design processes, supported by breakthrough innovations in business concepts and ICT solutions that integrate four crucial aspects of Early Design:- Open and flexible collaboration between all stakeholders of the building value chain- Design from a lifecycle perspective- Decision support to make 'informed choices' based on knowledge of each decision's consequences on the building lifecycle- Early planning of build and operation processes based on computer enabled simulations of smart digital prototypesThe consortium covers the whole construction value chain and is lead by five large and innovation-driven companies of the sector. InPro also includes a number of renowned Europe a research organisations in construction, industrial processes and ICT, plus leading software companies and standardisation experts. It is also supported by the InPro Research Cluster with already 30 active members. With an estimated budget of 17 million euro over four years, InPro gathers a strong combined mass of industrial leadership and scientific excellence.InPro will have a significant impact on lifecycle costs, sustainability, inclusion of construction workers and low-tech SMEs in the Information Society, take-up of multifunctional and nano materials, and much more. The research work is accompanied by roadmaps and strategies for a widespread take-up of innovation. InPro will be a first powerful step in a paradigm shift in the European construction sector to using knowledge-based processes and open collaboration for an efficient, effective and sustainable built environment.
