Rezgui, Y; Zarli, A

Abstract

The paper provides a synthesis of the construction industry needs and requirements in relation to the adoption and use of information and communication technologies ICT. This is based, on the one hand, on existing research and technology development initiatives commissioned at a national and European level, and, on the other, on a wide consultation with construction industry key players across Europe. A framework, used as a basis for capturing industry requirements, and formulating an ICT vision, has been defined. Five priority areas have been identified with the potential to solve the ICT related problems of the construction industry, namely: knowledge management, legal and contractual aspects management, quality and performance management, total lifecycle management, and human aspects management. The ICT vision, enabled by addressing these priority areas, has been formulated on a consensus basis, and a detailed
roadmap has been developed providing a pragmatic implementation of the proposed vision.
