Deconstruction Management in BIM, documenting an inventory of Project Information Requirements for the Design-for-Disassembly (DfD) of Off-site Manufacturing (OSM) Construction within the UK AEC Sector
Please could you spare 5 minutes to complete this survey. The study seeks to investigate and document an inventory of Plain Language Questions (PLQs) that would advance effective Design for Disassembly (DfD) in BIM enabled Off-site Manufacturing (OSM) construction projects with the UK AEC sector - towards a circular economy.

This digital survey questionnaire is part of the postgraduate masters Programme in Building Information Modelling Management at the Middlesex University London UK.  

Data collected for the purpose of this study is in accordance with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in line with the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) guideline and principles. Your response will be used solely for the purpose of this study. If you do require further information about this study please do contact
