Dr Temitope Omotayo
Senior Lecturer
Dr Temitope Omotayo is a Senior Quantity Surveying Lecturer and the Futures of Systems, People and Projects (FUSP) lab leader. He has a PhD in Construction and Project Management from the University of Salford, UK and an MSc in Quantity Surveying (Mechanical and Electrical) from the University above. He is a Chartered Construction Management (MCIOB), a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) and a Full Member of the Association for Project Management (MAPM).
Temitope is leading the execution and actively engaged in Innovate UK research grants worth over £2.5 million in Generative AI, BIM, and construction cost management to boost productivity in UK construction SMEs and large organisations. His recent accomplishments and impact have been the development of the costplan.ai generative AI platform for construction cost early cost advice and productivity in the UK.
Temitope is also executing a £31,000 British Council research grant with the Middle East Technical University, Turkey, to create a research environment Initiative For AI-driven building Information Modelling Integration for Circularity in Construction (CIREN-AI). The CIREN-AI project will create frameworks for AI adoption MSc, PhD built environment pedagogy and early career researchers in the UK and Turkey. He has also executed a £35,000 CAPEX project to develop a VR lab at the School of Built Environment, Engineering and Computing to bolster student engagement, retention and progression in BIM and construction-related modules.
Temitope is executing a research grant funded by the Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Grants Program (Australian Research Council) entitled Climate-Smart Adaptive Resilience and Engagement for Animal Evacuation valued at £264,000. As part of his international collaborations, he is executing an £80,000 Royal Academy of Engineering (RAE) grant on "developing sustainable, affordable housing for South Africa using innovative technologies" with the University of Cape Town. Other previously executed research grants have been funded by the RICS/CHOBE (£15,000) and an internal grant from Leeds Beckett University on smart campus procurement.
Temitope has over 80 publications covering books, book chapters, journal articles and conference proceedings in high-impact sources such as the sustainable development journal, smart and sustainable built environment, sustainable cities and society, waste management, international journal of construction management, international journal of productivity and performance management, international journal of construction management, sustainable production and consumption, buildings, sustainability, applied sciences, and built environment, project and asset management.
Temitope works with researchers at the University of Newcastle, Australia, CQ University Australia, the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, and the University of Johannesburg, South Africa, to produce research outputs. His research interests are continuous improvement in construction cost management, building information modelling (BIM), circular economy, smart campuses and cities based on the application of systems thinking and dynamics, natural language processing (NLP), generative AI and machine learning in built environment research. He has mentored two PhDs to completion and currently supervises five other PhD candidates. He is currently accepting PhD students.
Temitope's teaching interests include principles of measurement, construction communication and application (which includes BIM, project planning, and collaboration), and dissertation. He is the Local Research Ethics Coordinator (LREC) for the surveying and construction management subject group.
