Abstract

Concurrent engineering, a rational and progressive paradigm for design and product development, is fast becoming established as a new way of thinking in the manufacturing industry. However, within the civil/structural and construction industry, it is still relatively a very new concept. This paper hence sets the scene with a close examination of the status quo of the design and project development process in the civil/structural industry and the attendant problems. It then discusses in a concise manner, the principles, concepts, goals and benefits of concurrent engineering. The paper concludes with discussions on the fundamental issues that need to be addressed in implementing concurrent engineering in the civil/structural and construction industry, in order to realise its attendant benefits and improve the business processes in the industry.
