Project Title: Development of a behaviour change intervention for transforming the residential construction sector: A case study on the applications of 3D printing in New Zealand

New Zealand's smaller construction firms primarily rely on traditional methods, slowing the adoption of innovative technologies like 3D printing. Recent findings suggest that the industry's reluctance to embrace 3D printing stems from concerns like high costs, risk aversion, and limited understanding of the technology's benefits. This study aims to promote the use of 3D printing in New Zealand's residential construction. Using the Behaviour Change Wheel framework, the research will identify behaviours hindering 3D printing adoption, recognise key industry figures who can drive change, develop practical tools, including a VR training programme, and evaluate the effectiveness of these tools. The research process involves a literature review and stakeholder survey to understand the barriers, interviews with industry leaders to design interventions, and a VR trial with construction companies to test and refine the solutions. Expected outcomes include faster and more efficient house construction, strengthened local 3D printing firms, improved visualisation tools, and increased awareness and education about 3D printing benefits.
