An evolution in the use of digital modelling has occurred in the Queensland Department of
Public Works Division of Project Services over the last 20 years from: the initial
implementation of computer aided design and documentation (CADD); to experimentation
with building information modelling (BIM); to embedding integrated practice (IP); to current
steps towards integrated project delivery (IPD) including the active involvement of
consultants and contractors in the design/delivery process. This case study is one of three

This case study is one of three undertaken through the Australian Sustainable Built Environment National Research Centre investigating past R&D investment. The intent of these cases is to inform the development of policy guidelines for future investment in the construction industry in Australia. This research is informing the activities of CIB Task Group 85 R&D Investment and Impact. The uptake of digital modelling by Project Services has been approached through an incremental learning approach. This has been driven by a strong and clear vision with a focus on developing more efficient delivery mechanisms through the use of new technology coupled with process change. Findings reveal an organisational focus on several areas including: (i) strategic decision making including the empowerment of innovation leaders and champions; (ii) the acquisition and exploitation of knowledge; (iii) product and process development (with a focus on efficiency and productivity); (iv) organisational learning; (v) maximising the use of technology; and (vi) supply chain integration. Key elements of this approach include pilot projects, researcher engagement, industry partnerships and leadership.
