Abstract

The construction industry of most countries is considered the growth engine of the economy often acting as the regulator of economic activity. This makes it important to continually innovate its practice and processes. One of the primary ways of infusing innovation in to the construction industry is through the adoption of Information Communication Technologies (ICT) in to its endemic processes. Many previous reports that analysed the level of adoption of ICT by sectors (e-Business W@tch, 2007, 2008, 2010) and its performance (Kang et al., 2013) reported that the construction industry as one of the sectors that is most IT backward in terms of ICT adoption and use.
