Griggs’ research is centered on understanding existing and proposed manufacturing technologies, particularly those that are digitally enabled, and how these can integrate well-established delivery systems to produce buildings and infrastructure. He is interested in alternative design practices and their impact on contracting management and construction processes as digital technologies evolve.
