Information Technology Innovation: A View of Large Contractors
This paper presents the views of ten large construction contractors on two sets of issues relating to the impact of IT innovation on construction. Large contractors believe that web-based software that facilities electronic collaboration between project participants will have a large impact on the industry, but requires overcoming substantial barriers involving clients, subcontractors and architects. Large contractors also believe that mobile computing devices that can capture and transmit digital files and job costing data will eventually also have a large impact on the industry. Data-mining using company historical databases will continue to improve companies' estimating, marketing and project management capabilities.
