The construction industry operates in an environment of considerable risk and uncertainty, due largely to the fact that construction processes involve human activities and subjective judgment. Construction projects frequently represent large investments from numerous parties, but modeling and predicting the ways in which they will unfold is a difficult task. Experts struggle to capture the subjective, human elements of construction when conducting analyses that affect the allocation of time, labour, money, and materials. Fuzzy logic is a precise mathematical modeling technique that is specifically designed to handle natural language andapproximate reasoning. The primary objective of the NSERC Industrial Research Chair (IRC) in Strategic Construction Modeling and Delivery is to advance the field of fuzzy logic and combine it with other modeling techniques, including systems dynamics, agent-based modeling, and artificial intelligence techniques, in order to create workable, applicable approaches for solving construction-related problems and developing decision support systems. A secondary objective is to apply the developed methods to a number of practical applications for solving strategic, delivery-related issues in construction in order to improve project outcomes and increase the profitability, technological sophistication, and competitive performance of our partner organizations.Building on the successes of our previous IRC terms, we have focused our research on five key areas: (1) construction project productivity, including labour motivation and behaviour; (2) construction organizational competencies and performance; (3) risk analysis and mitigation; (4) assessment of impacts of research and development; and (5) applied project practices and industry tools. This research is designed to produce immediate and significant innovation in the processes and tools employed by both our partner organizations and the construction industry as a whole. These resources will help organizations close gaps in expertise andinternal resources and, in turn, remain profitable and competitive on a local, national, and international scale, even during times of economic instability.

建筑行业在一个充满风险和不确定性的环境中运营，这主要是由于建筑过程涉及人类活动和主观判断。建设项目通常代表多方的巨额投资，但对其展开方式进行建模和预测是一项艰巨的任务。专家们在进行影响时间、劳动力、金钱和材料分配的分析时，很难捕捉到施工中的主观、人为因素。模糊逻辑是一种精确的数学建模技术，专门用于处理自然语言和近似推理。 NSERC 工业研究主席 (IRC) 在战略构建建模和交付方面的主要目标是推进模糊逻辑领域，并将其与其他建模技术相结合，包括系统动力学、基于代理的建模和人工智能技术，以便创建可行、适用的方法来解决与施工相关的问题并开发决策支持系统。第二个目标是将开发的方法应用于许多实际应用中，以解决施工中与交付相关的战略问题，以改善项目成果并提高我们合作伙伴组织的盈利能力、技术复杂性和竞争绩效。继前一届 IRC 任期的成功之后，我们将研究重点放在五个关键领域：（1）建设项目生产力，包括劳动力动机和行为； （二）施工组织能力和业绩； (3)风险分析和缓解； (4) 研究与开发的影响评估； (5) 应用的项目实践和行业工具。这项研究旨在为我们的合作伙伴组织和整个建筑行业所采用的流程和工具带来直接和重大的创新。这些资源将帮助组织缩小专业知识和内部资源方面的差距，从而即使在经济不稳定时期，也能在地方、国家和国际范围内保持盈利和竞争力。
