The book, Advances in Construction ICT and e-Business, is a study of the latest construction industry practices. It examines and addresses a broad range of information and communication technology applications.
Drawing on research conducted in the US and the UK, the book presents the state of the art of various e-business processes and examines Business Information Modelling (BIM), virtual environments and mobile technologies.
In addition, the book considers the direct impact of new technical achievements and examines the management styles that helped them emerge. Examples from industry are illustrated with case studies, presented alongside research from some of the best-known academics in this field.
The book is essential reading for all advanced students and researchers interested in how ICT is changing construction management and the construction industry.
