Proceedings: Improving Construction and Use Through Integrated Design Solutions
ISBN 978-951-6341-8 Editors: Kaisa Belloni, Jun Kojima and Isabel Pinto-Seppä These are the Proceedings of the First International CIB Conference on Improving Construction and Use Through Integrated Design Solutions, held in June 2009 in Helsinki, Finland. This was the first conference of the IDS Priority Theme with an open Call for Papers and Acceptance of Papers. This was also the beginning of a series of International events to be organised as biannual conferences in several parts of the world. A general feedback has been that the title of the Theme should not be about design only. The future
events will use the term Integrated Design and Delivery Solutions (IDDS). Several papers are included in the Proceedings, covering the following 6 themes: IDS Competences BIM Utilisation Integrated Processes Sustainability Beyond BIM User Value through Collaboration
