INGENIEUR
the Malaysian construction industry . The centre of excellence seeks to digitalise the entire construction project lifecycle by :
1 . Developing a mechanism ( e . g ., Construction 4.0 Living Lab ) to intensify research , development , commercialisation , and innovation ( R & D & C & I ) in emerging digital technologies .
2 . Developing and promoting guidelines , standards , best practices , and policies in implementing Construction 4.0 .
3 . Assisting Malaysian construction stakeholders and relevant parties ( Government , industry , society ) to seize opportunities offered by adopting digital technologies and innovations .
4 . Upskilling and reskilling future workforce for Construction 4.0 .
CONCLUSION
The construction industry has to leapfrog from the traditional way of doing things to an innovationdriven approach . The world economy has changed tremendously in innovation and digitalisation . It is high time for industry players , academia , and society to embrace innovation and digitalisation to move a step ahead . CREAM can bridge the gap between all these stakeholders and act as a facilitator for this innovative approach through the quadruple helix . Industry participation , strong support in Construction 4.0 and innovation are key success factors . Building vibrant technologies also needs strong support and clear policies from the Government . We should capitalise opportunities in Construction 4.0 to transform industry .
