The increasing complexity of construction projects and heavier reliance on advanced technology for project data makes managing construction information vital.

The problematic area of co-operation between construction professionals is addressed in this book which will explain how information technology and information management can play a part in improving communication.

This book shows how the handling of project information at each stage in the construction process, from initial brief right through to running a maintenance programme, can be streamlined using integrated computer environments.

It sets out concepts, components, approaches and latest developments in the integration of computer environments and provides a thorough understanding of the issues surrounding integration.
