Through the material, readers are given the ability to analyze systematically a potential area of need - such as a function in a department - to determine whether a computer application might help to assess the costs and benefits of alternative proposals and to proceed from that analysis to a clear specification for what the proposed solution should accomplish. There is also coverage of how computer professionals evaluate hardware and design the software and systems that will implement a given application. Furthermore, readers will learn how to manage the people, resources, time, and money required in the development process for creating a given application program or for adapting a package application to the needs specified in the design.

The application of computers to construction management is discussed with emphasis on Air Force construction management. Three basic areas of computer knowledge are covered: computer development, computer application to private construction management, and computer application to Air Force construction management. An overview of the development of the computer illustrates the problems and various factors present in the acceptance and application of the computer from initial discovery, through its technological advancements, to the microcomputer of the seventies. A discussion of computer applications in the construction phases includes examples from a basic construction-oriented computer program, ICES PROJECT-I. Air Force construction management is analyzed through various levels of management organization determined by project size and complexity. Actual computer applications at these levels are analyzed on the basis of interviews, regulatory documents, and an overview of a construction management computer program utilized by the Air Force. Conclusions and recommendations are given with the purpose of enhancing the Air Force construction management program. (Author).
