The International Society for Smart Construction and Production (SCP) is pleased to support the 3rd Workshop on Construction Digitalisation and Decarbonisation, which will take place on 17 November 2026 at Western Sydney University, Parramatta City Campus, Australia.

Held in conjunction with AUBEA 2026, the workshop will bring together leading experts, researchers, industry professionals and government representatives to explore the latest developments in digital technologies and sustainable construction, with a particular focus on accelerating the digital and low-carbon transformation of the construction and infrastructure sectors.

Advancing Digitalisation and Sustainable Construction

Building on the success of the previous two workshops, the 2026 event will provide an international platform for knowledge exchange, research collaboration and industry engagement.

Key topics will include:

* Building Information Modelling (BIM) and digital engineering

* Digital twins and artificial intelligence

* Robotics, automation and smart construction

* Embodied carbon and life-cycle assessment

* Sustainable infrastructure and low-carbon construction

* Digital technologies supporting net-zero construction

The workshop will emphasise practical applications, real-world case studies and measurable industry outcomes, promoting the integration of advanced digital technologies with sustainable construction practices.

Distinguished Speakers and Industry Engagement

The workshop will feature invited presentations from experts representing leading universities, government agencies and major industry organisations, including:

* Dr Jun Wang, Western Sydney University

* David Kelly and Abhishek Dube, Transport for NSW

* Jack Perry, Sydney Metro

* Mitchell Erickson, John Holland

* Joseph Caparrotta, Gamuda Australia

* Paul Tarasenko, Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water

* Trent Hoffman, UGL

The programme will also include the kick-off of an ARENA Ultra Low-Cost Solar PV Grant, followed by an interactive panel discussion and Q&A session.

SCP's Commitment to International Collaboration

As an official supporting organisation, SCP welcomes this opportunity to strengthen collaboration among academia, industry and government in advancing smart construction, digital engineering and sustainable infrastructure.

The workshop closely aligns with SCP's mission to promote scientific research, technological innovation and international cooperation in smart construction and production.

Through its support for international academic and industry events, SCP continues to encourage knowledge sharing and the practical application of innovative technologies to address emerging challenges in the built environment.
