Abstract

This paper reviews existing construction processes of a Leading International Engineering Contracting
firm in the Middle East and investigates the potential of improving existing processes using mobile Building
Information Technology and processes. Qualitative data was captured through detailed interviews with key
personnel, site observations and existing site processes that are mapped from site mobilisation to practical
completion stage. Industry practitioners whom were involved in the project have validated the to-be process
maps. The paper identifies non-adding value activities in the existing processes and highlights the potential
of using mobile technologies in addressing limitations of the as-is processes. The paper also highlights the
potential of enhancing efficiency and effectiveness of existing processes using readily available technologies
