With a number of disparate, often geographically distributed,organisations involved in the delivery of construction projects,there has been considerable interest in e-business tools within theconstruction industry. These tools open up a range of possibilitiesfor the industry to rethink existing processes and working methods,so their use is increasingly common. Nevertheless, there has beenlittle definitive guidance for practitioners, researchers andstudents on the major issues in electronic business from aconstruction perspective. By bringing together 16 contributions from research and industrycovering theory, technological issues, practical implementation andlegal matters, and illustrated with a number of case studies,e-Business in Construction fills that gap. Starting with thetheoretical aspects of e-commerce and moving on to consider thespecifics of the construction context, it includes a mechanism forthe assessment of the e-readiness of construction sectororganisations. The middle part of the book focuses on the role ofvarious technologies in e-business, with examples included asappropriate. This is followed by a discussion of practical, legaland trust issues. The potential of next generation of informationand communication technologies is also addressed. With a fine blend of theoretical and practical aspects ofe-commerce in construction, and well illustrated with a number ofindustrial case studies, e-Business in Construction will find anappreciative audience of construction practitioners, researchersand students at all levels.

The task of structuring information on built environment has presented challenges to the research community, software developers and the industry for the last 20 years. Recent work has taken advantage of Web and industry standards such as XML, OWL, IFC and STEP. Another important technology for the fragmented AEC industry is digital communication. Wired or wireless, it brings together architects, engineers and construction site workers, enabling them to exchange information, communicate and work together. Virtual enterprise organization structures, involving mobile teams over distance, are highly compatible with the needs of the construction industry.

How can the Internet and world wide web improve my long-term competitive advantage? This book helps answer this question by providing a better understanding of the technologies, their potential applications and the ways they can be used to add value for customers, support new strategies, and improve existing operations. It is not just about e-commerce but the broader theme of e-business which affects products, business processes, strategies, and relationships with customers, suppliers, distributors and competitors. To cover future trends, the editors have collected papers from authors operating at the frontiers of the developments so the reader can more appreciate the directions in which these technologies are heading. The resulting 165 essays have been collated into ten sections, which have been grouped in three parts: key issues, applications areas and applications, tools and technologies. A business rarely makes radical changes but is constantly making adjustments to circumstances. Businesses must now adapt to the global implications of the Internet and world wide web. This book hopes to aid awareness of the implications so that the changes are managed wisely.
