In the late 1980s, many small companies did not own computer systems. As a result, they often lacked the capability to develop, use, and read project management reports. This paper describes a solution for closing the technology gap between large construction firms and small construction contractors by discussing a 1987 survey examining how a group of small Indiana-based (United States) contractors use computers to monitor business and project activity. It details the survey's methodology, lists its four purposes, and explains its results in regards to the software and hardware most typically used by the contractors surveyed. It then identifies ten obstacles that small contractors often face when attempting to introduce technology into their business operations, obstacles such as hardware and software compatibility, software and software compatibility, system selection, lack of computer experience, scheduling and estimating programs, general business software, cost, and training. It details several improvements for four areas--standardization, scheduling, estimating, training--that could help small contractors integrate technology into their businesses.

Sourced from international experts, this book presents papers dealing with a wide range of soft and hard research issues at various stages of development in the field. Some cover entirely new ground, whilst others reflect progress on the sometimes frustrating path to truly robust technology. Of particular interest are contributions discussing issues of exploitation and commercialisation, the integration of end products within the design and construction processes incorporating information technology (IT) and the impact of the emerging technology on the culture and organisation of the construction industry. A mark of growing maturity is apparent in the coverage of health and safety and related social issues. This is complemented by a clear commitment to the consideration of human factors and the environment. It is hoped that by promoting a wider debate on the matters of future technology and its horizons, on the identification of what industry needs from the research and development community and on building effective partnerships between academia, industry and government, the publication not only addresses the practical commercial obligation to seek robust solutions for today's problems, but will stimulate research for the years to come.
