520 _aThe construction industry is restricted by its slow rate of change and tendency towards fragmentation. Change is essential to create an environment that fosters innovation, clarifies communication and truly integrates the design, manufacturing and construction processes. IT technologies offer opportunities to realize this integration and to improve the productivity of the construction industry. This book uses case studies and extensive illustrations to demonstrate how this can happen in the real work environment.
