What is Evidence-Based Construction?

Evidence-based construction is a process that uses scientific research to guide decision-making throughout the construction process. This means that instead of relying on guesswork or tradition, decisions are made based on data and evidence.

There are many benefits to using evidence-based construction. Some of these benefits include:

Reduced risk: By using evidence-based construction, you can reduce the risk of making costly mistakes.
Improved efficiency: Evidence-based construction can help you identify and eliminate inefficiencies in your construction process.
Increased quality: Evidence-based construction can help you improve the quality of your construction projects.
Lower costs: Evidence-based construction can help you save money on your construction projects.

How to Use Evidence-Based Construction

There are a few key steps you can take to use evidence-based construction on your next project:

Start with a research question. What do you want to know about your construction project? What are the key decisions you need to make?
Do your research. There are a number of resources available to help you find evidence-based information on construction. These resources include:
- The National Institute of Building Sciences
- The American Society of Civil Engineers
- The Construction Industry Institute
- The Building Research Establishment
Evaluate the evidence. Not all evidence is created equal. It is important to evaluate the evidence you find to determine its credibility and relevance to your project.
Make decisions based on the evidence. Once you have evaluated the evidence, you can make decisions based on the best available evidence.
Monitor and evaluate your results. Once you have made decisions, it is important to monitor and evaluate your results to see if they are meeting your expectations.

Evidence-based construction is a powerful tool that can help you make informed decisions throughout your construction project. By following the steps outlined above, you can use evidence-based construction to reduce risk, improve efficiency, increase quality, and lower costs on your next project.
