  abstract  = {IT support for field personnel is starting to appear on bridge inspection sites, construction sites, and on the manufacturing floor. ENR magazine now regularly advertises palm computing-based systems for recording data on a construction site. This support can, and should, take on many forms and functions and needs to be carefully designed and evaluated like any other important tool used in the field. With careful design and implementation, IT devices for the field should have tremendous impact on the productivity of field personnel. If the devices are not carefully designed to take account of the field context and the abilities and preferences of the field personnel, field workers will not use these tools.},

  abstract  = {Organisational and human issues have been highlighted, among other issues (ICT infrastructures, legal and contractual, etc.), as key elements in enhancing the competitiveness of the construction sector. More specifically, the importance of human resources has been recognised, especially training and professional development, in order to cultivate a stable workforce. The paper provides a review of the key training needs for the construction sector with particular reference to the uptake and exploitation of new technologies and working practices, presents an action plan to address learning and training needs, and proposes an eight-stage iterative learning and training methodology. The results will be of particular interest to managers in stakeholder organisations of all sizes throughout the sector, plus academic and research bodies intending to continue construction ICT research.},

  abstract  = {The construction industry is a project-based business bringing together many different organisations to complete a desired goal. The strategic use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has enabled this goal to be completed more effectively. Two issues require addressing, the technology itself and the implementation factors of the technology. Such implementation factors should consider, among other factors, the legal and contractual issues associated with the use of ICT, training requirements and its effects on the organisational culture. To date the legal and contractual issues have not been extensively covered, and it is recognised that the technologies have not been properly covered by any recognised legal and contractual practices. This in turn is threatening to inhibit the growth and prosperity of the use of the technology on construction projects. This paper discusses these legal and contractual issues and describes methods and tools that can be used to enable the growth of technology to be used in a legal and contractually valid environment.},

  abstract  = {To support research in the building sector and in order to help it move towards a new digital economy, the European Commission under the 5th Framework initiative, especially the IST programme, funded various RTD projects. The opportunity to bring these IST projects together was acknowledged so that stronger links can be created under a clustering umbrella and that, moreover, links of those projects with their RTD environment could be facilitated. This has been the objective of work carried out within the ICCI (IST-2001-33022) Cluster project. This paper introduces the main aims and objectives of the project, and then presents its principal outcomes. In a second part, it synthesises the underlying concepts, technology and tools that will make ICT-based Construction a reality in a near future, and gives recommended actions for the industry, the EC and the Construction ICT R\&D in Europe, giving some benefit of this project experience to the three communities.},

  abstract  = {Die Einf{\"u}hrung von neuen Informations- und Kommunikationstechniken in Klein- und Mittelst{\"a}ndische Unternehmen (hier: kleine und mittlere Planungsb{\"u}ros im Bauwesen) ist mit speziellen Problemen behaftet. Erfahrungswerte liegen nur in gr{\"o}ßeren und zumeist fachfremden Firmen vor. Neben den eigentlichen Sicherheitsrisiken (Thematik Internet), Verst{\"a}ndnisschwierigkeiten und daraus resultierenden Akzeptanzproblemen fehlt beim Einsatz dieser neuen Techniken die Verbindung zum Ablauf in projektbasiert arbeitenden Unternehmen. Der Begeisterung und Euphorie durch den Einsatz neuer Technik stehen {\"A}nderungen des eigenen Arbeitsstiles und ein anf{\"a}nglicher Mehraufwand entgegen. Ein Schwerpunktthema der eigenen Forschungsarbeiten sind die Ermittlung und Validierung von Kriterien f{\"u}r die Einf{\"u}hrung neuer IuK-Techniken speziell in kleineren und mittleren Planungsb{\"u}ros. In einer fortschreitenden Reihe von Arbeiten am Fachbereich wurden und werden nacheinander die genannten Problematiken und Aspekte in Angriff genommen. Dabei werden neben der Kategorisierung von Anwendungsszenarien und Vorstellung der einzelnen, empfehlenswerten Techniken einzelne Konzepte am Fachbereich und in Zusammenarbeit mit Ingenieurb{\"u}ros {\"u}berpr{\"u}ft. Der Beitrag m{\"o}chte in Erg{\"a}nzung zu bereits gelaufenen Arbeiten als Empfehlung oder Leitfaden f{\"u}r Planungsb{\"u}ros auf die Machbarkeit neuer Techniken und einige n{\"o}tige Randbedingungen eingehen.},

  abstract  = {This paper examines the impact of information technology (IT) utilization on construction firm performance. Based on empirical data collected from 74 US construction firms, the analyses provide evidence that IT has a positive impact on overall firm performance, schedule performance, and cost performance. Firm performance is a composite score of several metrics of performance: schedule performance, cost performance, customer satisfaction, safety performance, and profit. No relationship is found between IT utilization and customer satisfaction, safety, or profit, although this may be due to limitations of the study given strong correlations between IT utilization and cost and schedule performnance. The empirical evidence of positive association between performance and IT use provided by this research is significant to both construction practice and research literature. This evidence should encourage firms to adopt and invest in IT tools.},
