Abstract

The `Information Super Highway' has received great attention recently. Emerging and information technologies such as internet, 3D animation, multimedia, voice recognition, digital photography, and others promise to revolutionize how American industry conducts business. Yet with this plethora of technology come the challenges of transfer to appropriate application areas and integration for information optimization. To investigate the broad ranging questions of transfer and integration, the Construction Information Technology (CIT 21) project was conceived. The CIT 21 project is an effort to develop simulated 21st century construction organizations. The project's focus is the investigation of emerging and information technologies' impact on communication, productivity, and processes at the project level.
