Arjen A. Adriaanse

Arjen A. Adriaanse is a Full Professor specializing in Building Information Modeling (BIM) and construction management, with research focused on digital transformation in the built environment. His work bridges construction engineering, sustainability, and information systems to optimize project delivery and resource management.

His primary research interests include Building Information Modeling, circular economy integration, supply chain optimization, and collaborative project management. He investigates how BIM enables circularity assessments across project phases, manages maturity variations among partners, enhances team mental models, and develops logistics control towers. His studies frequently address data interoperability challenges and organizational dynamics in construction ecosystems.

Recent publications demonstrate a clear trajectory toward predictive digital twins and sustainability-driven BIM applications, with increasing emphasis on circular economy metrics, partner capability development, and secure data-sharing frameworks within construction supply chains.

Scientific recognition includes:

• RICS Best Paper On Sustainability (2019)

Professor Adriaanse has supervised 8 research works and actively disseminates knowledge through invited talks on predictive twins and digital transformation, particularly in Dutch construction contexts as evidenced by media contributions and conference engagements.
