Projects
The FCT group deals with the development and implementation of new materials, structural systems, construction methods and digital technology for construction applications from residential houses to high-rise buildings and infrastructure.
We have made significant advances in researching these potential technologies for practical applications in the industry from the current and past projects.
Building 4.0 CRC
Building 4.0 CRC is an industry-led research initiative co-funded by the Australian Government. The CRC aims to develop an internationally competitive, dynamic and thriving Australian advanced manufacturing sector, delivering better buildings at lower cost and the human capacity to lead the future industry.
The FCT researchers, led by Prof Tuan Ngo, are working on a number of projects within the Building 4.0 CRC to advance the digitalisation, industrialisation and sustainability of the industry.
Decarbonising the Building Industry
The Decarbonising Building Industry (DBI) initiative stands at the forefront of sustainable transformation within the building industry. As a collaborative network, the DBI unites researchers, universities, industry experts and policymakers in a mission to innovate and implement clean technology for the industry.
The FCT researchers, led by Prof Tuan Ngo, are working on low-carbon construction materials and embodied-carbon framework for the building industry.
