A brief synopsis in the use of ICT and ICPM in the construction industry

The Cooperative Research Centre for Construction Innovation (CRCCI) research project 2001-008-C: 'Project Team Integration: Communication, Coordination and Decision Support', is supported by a number of Australian industry, government and university based project partners including: Queensland University of Technology (QUT); Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), University of Newcastle; Queensland Department of Public Works (QDPW); and the Queensland Department of Main Roads (QDMR). Supporting the project’s research aims and objectives, and as the first major deliverable for the project, this report provides an overall 'snapshot' of current public and private Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry sector statistics, practices, cultures and research directions towards the implementation and application of ICPM and ICT tools and systems.
