This book contains a series of case studies authored by graduate students in CM515 Virtual Construction Management Spring 2024. We explored how people, teams, and companies change practices with a variety of new technologies in the workplace. You will find cases of people who are innovators, teams who took on innovation, and specific design and construction projects that realized these innovation practice changes.

The Design Case Studies offer instructors with a starting point for introducing students to the design of technology and policy. Students work with value sensitive design methods to develop tech policy solutions.
