“…Bowden et al [10] summarized potential improvement areas in construction to be a) Reduction in construction time and capital cost, b) reduction in operation and maintenance costs, c) reduction in defects, d) reduction in number of accidents, e) reduction in physical waste, and f) increase in predictability of real-time progress and cost information. Based on this taxonomy, the value of a piece of information can be assessed based on its capability to cause any of mentioned improvements.…”

Abstract-The full-scale implementation of ICT in construction offers many of opportunities such as enhanced quality and reduction in wasted resources while drastically improving the collaboration between project participants. This paper introduces a novel ICT-based information network for the construction site designed to facilitate dynamic transactions among information "suppliers" and users at their point of activity. This proposed network is used to assess the potential impact of e-communication on the outcome of construction. This evaluation is based on i 2 F framework unifying the procedure of evaluating the effectiveness of a piece of information considering its context. It combines information quality (InQ) and information value (InV) to calculate impact of a piece of information. Results of the performed analysis are summarized in a look-up table which models the importance of an information fragment for a process in different contexts.

“…In both cases the positional information used are rather coarse, essentially implementing a zoning framework where the presence of workers, equipment and materials in relatively wide areas, usually ranging tenths of square meters, is monitored. On the other hand, complementary approaches, see for example (Bowden et al 2006), propose a vision where autonomous intelligent systems are able to perform more accurate real-time support to health and safety tasks and hazard prevention by issuing pre-alerts when fatalities are about to occur, by automating dangerous operations and by decreasing human interventions. In these cases, see for example (Teizer et al 2008), workers' behavioral models are at the basis of intelligent software systems capable of recognizing dangerous situations in real-time and implementing mitigating actions.…”

“…In addition, the global economic competition trend has also become apparent in construction industry, with client expecting a better service and project that meet their requirements more closely [2]. Plus with the bad reputation in construction industry delivery as similarly discussed by Kamarani [3].…”

Abstract. This paper presents a comprehensive statistical research on the effect of construction cost estimating software's features towards estimating job performance. The objectives of this study are identification of cost estimating software features, analyzing the significant relation of cost estimating software's features towards job performance, Explore the problem faced during the implementation and lastly propose a plan to improve the cost estimating software usage among contractors in Malaysia. The study statistically reveals four features of cost estimating software that significantly impact towards changes in cost estimating job performance. These features were refined by performing interview to focus group of respondent to observe the actual possible problems during the implementation. Eventually, the proposed improvement plan was validated by the focus group of respondents to enhance the cost estimating software implementation among contractors in Malaysia.
