Professor Chris Goodier is a Professor of Construction Engineering and Materials at Loughborough University, where he leads the Centre for Innovative and Collaborative Construction Engineering (CICE) and serves on the School's Senior Leadership Team. His expertise spans offsite/modular construction, concrete technology (particularly RAAC), and sustainable construction materials. He has over 25 years' industry experience with firms like Laing O’Rourke and BRE, and led the NHS-funded RAAC National Research project. His research focuses on low-carbon construction, durability of building materials, and digital transformation in construction.
Education details are not explicitly stated, but his career history suggests advanced qualifications in civil engineering. Notable works include authored books like Design in Modular Construction (2014) and RICS Future of UK Housebuilding (2010). He frequently advises parliamentary committees and contributes to national infrastructure projects (e.g., HS2, Network Rail).
Research interests center on RAAC lifecycle analysis, low-carbon concrete formulations, modular construction adoption barriers, and circular economy strategies. His articles (over 200 publications) address topics ranging from AI-driven defect detection to corrosion protection systems. He currently oversees projects like the EPSRC-funded PLEXUS infrastructure lab and the DECONT digital construction initiative.
Professional affiliations include the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and the British Standards Institution (BSI), where he contributes to construction standards development. His work bridges academic research with industry application, emphasizing real-world impact through collaborative projects with companies like Arup and Highways England.
