Research
The activities and expertise of Whole Life Consultants Ltd are underpinned by the research carried out by the Construction Management Research Unit (CMRU) at the University of Dundee University.
The CMRU conducts research across the whole field of Construction and Project Management. It is part of the Department of Civil Engineering, which was rated 3rd overall in the UK in the most recent Times league tables, behind Cambridge and Cardiff Universities and achieved the third highest score in the UK in the latest Research Assessment Exercise. The CMRU has successfully conducted research contracts to a value in excess of £4m, funded in roughly equal measure by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and industry, and currently leads a consortium of four Scottish and English Universities in a £1.3m EPSRC funded project “Metrics, models and toolkits for whole life sustainable urban development”. The CMRU is also a leading member of the consortium which has been awarded the £3m Scottish Construction Innovation and Excellence Centre, and is a member of the EPSRC-funded SURegen project that aims to provide guidance on the sustainability of urban regeneration projects.
