Cloud Computing Support for Construction Collaboration
This chapter discusses the potential and implication of cloud computing technology in the construction industry to facilitate communication and collaboration among distributed construction project stakeholders. This chapter begins with a summary of cloud computing technology and its characteristics. It then reviews the development of major construction collaboration technologies and discusses the potential of cloud computing for collaboration. This chapter presents the potential benefits of cloud‐based collaboration in the construction industry. Technical and social challenges of cloud computing adoption in the construction industry are also discussed to identify future research gaps, with suggestions on the possible solutions. Last, but not least, this chapter proposes a distributed cloud‐based collaboration model that is designed for construction collaboration and management.
