The writers consider the effects of digital information networks on construction contractors and unions. They discuss Internet access and computer literacy among the sector's workforce and outline the changes evident in the construction workforce over the 1980s. In addition, they highlight the major hurdles that still confront the adoption of information technology (IT) in the industry. Furthermore, they identify the different levels on which IT can play an increasingly critical role in facilitating change in the construction sector: training information, other data systems; enhanced flow of project information off the work site; on-site information; and information to owner/client or facilities manager. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
