What is the Enhanced logistics and operations of construction sites (IA) Call?
Grant Description
The call supports the development of interoperable, technology-driven innovations to improve on-site construction and demolition operations by reducing time, errors, waste and safety risks, while integrating circular economy practices and enabling traceability and business exploitation strategies.
Required Results for Successful Funding
Expected Outcomes
• Measurable reduction in time required for on-site construction and demolition operations.
• Increased on-site application of circular approaches (reuse, preparing for reuse, recycling) yielding significant waste reduction and improved waste management.
• Enhanced health and safety conditions for construction workers through error-proofing and risk-mitigation technologies.
• Demonstrable improvements in operational speed, productivity and efficiency without sacrificing safety.
• Full traceability of materials and products throughout the site lifecycle, enabling better planning and coordination.
• Adoption of human-centric, socially accepted tools fostering higher market uptake and user acceptance.
• A robust business case and exploitation plan that paves the way for industrialisation and full-scale EU deployment.
• Contributions to standardisation and synergies with relevant EU initiatives, reinforcing Europe’s leadership in circular, digital and climate-neutral industrial value chains.

Funded areas
Scope Requirements
• Develop interoperable, safety-compliant technologies building upon existing industry practices (Digital Twins, BIM).
• Improve efficiency and speed of site operations without compromising worker safety.
• Implement full traceability of construction products and consumables across delivery, installation and removal, including off-site coordination where relevant.
• Integrate circular economy principles: waste prevention, management and recovery of construction and demolition waste through reuse, preparing for reuse and recycling.
• Introduce new operational methods to minimise errors, accidents and manage unexpected disruptions.
• Embed human-centric and SSH aspects in tool development, leveraging social innovation mechanisms for market uptake.
• Include a comprehensive business case and exploitation strategy aligned with the Destination’s requirements for TRL advancement and full-scale deployment in the EU.
• Optionally contribute to relevant standardisation activities.
• Seek synergies with EU-funded projects (e.g. New European Bauhaus, Built 4 People) and Destination 1 or Destination 2 objectives as selected from the Work Programme.
