Descrizione Integrated Construction Information
The construction industry is an information-intensive sector and low levels of productivity are often blamed on inadequate integration of information. This edited volume documents the latest worldwide research and most innovative practice in the integration of construction information. It shows how the different types and sources of information can be integrated - not only on individual construction projects, but also within construction companies and in the construction industry at a worldwide level. With 24 contributions from leaders of top international research groups from nine countries, a wide range of applications is demonstrated - from architectural design and environmental management to project co-ordination and cost estimation. Integrated Construction Information provides a unique contribution to the analysis of productivity and industry performance by drawing directly from leading internationally collaborative research projects, considering the history of integration alongside current technologies, and indicating practical systems and solutions.
