Lessons Learned in the Use of Design/Information Technology in the Non-Residential Construction Industry.

Abstract

This thesis is the second part of a research initiative put forth by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The goal of the research is to identify the benefits of utilizing Design and Information Technology (D/IT) in the non-residential sector of the U.S. construction industry. In part one, a statistical analysis of an entire database was conducted in an attempt to relate the use of D/IT to construction project performance. In this second part, six projects were selected from the database based on their "exemplary performance," for a detailed study of the relationship of the use of D/IT and project success in terms of project schedule growth, project cost growth, Recordable Incident Rate (RIR), rework, and project changes. The purpose is to document a series of "lessons learned."
