Biographic note

Hans Wamelink has been appointed as professor of Design & Construction Management in the faculty of Architecture, department Real Estate & Housing since April 2006.
His main focus is on the co-operation between the various parties involved in the building process, the relation between costs and quality, as well as on issues on steering possibilities in the development and realization phase of building projects. Topics in the research within the chair of Design & Construction Management are design management and building process innovation. In the Netherlands, since some years a strong call is heard for a change in the building process. Miscommunication is often the reason for problems and causes extra costs. Wamelink is doing research on what kind of tools are needed to reduce these high failure costs.
Research on new ways of contracting that will facilitate the parties to work together in a different way, is another issue.
To gain new insights, Wamelink is also interested to compare the problems in the building sector with similar and different industries abroad.
The Chair takes care of the education in bachelor as well as in the master degree programme.
Apart from his job as professor, Wamelink is general director of Infocus, a company specialized in consultancy and building management. After finishing his Phd at the Delft University of Technology he worked for ten year as an assistant professor and researcher at the Faculty of Technology Management of the Eindhoven University of Technology.
Recently Wamelink has become a member of the Programme Board of SBR (Foundation for Building Research, Rotterdam).
