Innovations

The main innovation of H-KNOW will be that, for the first time, a holistic and highly harmonised solution will be provided as a very promising approach to achieve a strategic breakthrough in collaboration of SMEs and RTDs in this specific Construction Industry domain, targeting radically new ways of knowledge-based realisation of complex restoration/maintenance projects.

H-KNOW will offer a strategy (supported by the methodology and tools) to SMEs in this sector to attack problematic areas which have not yet been solved. The highly sophisticated and flexible solution to revolutionise efficiency in buildings repair/maintenance will not only enable these SMEs to perform on a par with other industry, but will also give them an extreme flexibility, which SMEs in many other sectors currently do not enjoy, hence providing CI SMEs with an approach going beyond the capabilities of the current approach taken by SMEs in many sectors.
