Construction in 5D: Deconstruction, Digitalization, Disruption, Disaster, Development

Transform the way you design, build and protect the places people live and work with Construction in 5D: Deconstruction, Digitalization, Disruption, Disaster, Development. This authoritative guide brings together five defining forces reshaping contemporary construction—from sustainable deconstruction and advanced 5D BIM workflows to market disruption, disaster resilience and inclusive development.

Inside, practical frameworks and real-world examples explain how digitalization ties cost, time and lifecycle data into a single, actionable model; how deconstruction and circular strategies reduce waste; how disruptive technologies and business models alter procurement and delivery; and how resilience planning mitigates climate and man-made risks. Case studies span urban centres and regional markets—illustrating applications in Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and emerging cities—so readers gain globally relevant insights with local applicability.

Engineered for professionals and students alike, this book equips architects, civil engineers, project managers, developers and policymakers with the skills to implement 5D thinking: better forecasting, smarter resource allocation, regulatory compliance and measurable sustainability outcomes. Clear diagrams and step-by-step approaches make complex concepts operational, helping teams reduce cost overruns, accelerate approval and improve community resilience.

Whether you’re looking to future-proof projects, lead digital transformation in construction, or embed disaster-ready practices across infrastructure portfolios, this volume is an essential reference. Purchase your copy today and start building smarter, safer and more sustainable developments for cities and communities around the world.
