French construction industry is facing radical changes: the new 2012 Thermal Regulations as well as an increasing tendency from decision-makers to select the lowest tender force the constructors to change their practices. Those constraints have a deep impact on the industry. Reconsidering constructors‟ behaviour appears to be essen-tial. Current efforts focus on the adoption of manufacturing concepts including Concurrent Engineering (CE). Imple-mentation of CE fosters a more efficient collaboration and increases the users‟ needs consideration. Using 4D CAD or Building Information Modeling can also be a great contribution. Practices changes should succeed through CE trainings and it is crucial to develop procedures that will be followed by the construction actors. As a conclusion, case studies are rare and studying the implementation conditions of concurrent methodologies in the construction industry appears as a relevant approach to investigate.< Leer menos
