This conference, held in Copenhagen on 13-15 April 2011, was aimed at unpacking the construction/society nexus and discussing the mutual constitution and transformation of practices of production and consumption of the built environment. The production and consumption of construction goods and services are embedded in a network of institutionalised structures and practices, which is increasingly being shaped by the proliferation of new and emerging societal needs and trends. Different concepts and methods such as performance management, user-driven innovation, supply-chain integration and Building Information Modelling have been introduced to develop the sector and address the challenges that arise from these new perspectives. However, what are the consequences for the existing modes of procurement, management, regulation and governance in and of construction, and how are traditional practices, roles and responsibilities transformed as a result? Papers are presented in the following three volumes:

Vol.1: Clients and users

Vol.2: Transforming practices

Vol.3: Construction in society
