Project Team Integration: Communication, Coordination and Decision Support [Kajewski, QUT] 2001-008-C

This project focuses on the potential of information and communication technology to integrate construction project teams and consists of two complementary components: Part A: Scoping Studies The scoping studies aim to identify the major issues and dynamics that should be taken into consideration in the use of information and communication technology to integrate the project team through communication, coordination and decision support. Solution approaches will be conceptualised and methodologies for research and development developed. Part B: Internet-based Construction Project Management This component of the project will benchmark and critically evaluate the use of Internet-based Construction Project Management (ICPM), e-tendering, e-archiving of project information, and cultural/relationship barriers/enablers to the adoption of ICPM. This project will leverage off previous international and local research in the area and draw together the activities being undertaken within both the public and private sectors with a view to establishing a uniform best-practice model that can be adopted by industry. *
