My research focuses on Construction Management with three clear directions:

  • International construction: international competitiveness, strategic management, procurement innovation, and corporate social responsibility;
  • Construction informatics: Building Information Modelling (BIM), smart construction, and big data; and
  • Construction waste management: Management, economics, and public policies.

I have particularly benefited from a capable team with me. I have been lucky to secure many internal and external research grants from various prestigious funding bodies, so the research team can be sustained. My books, book chapters, and journal papers are in these three fields:
