An Internet-Based Communication Model for A/E/C Industry

Among the most significant factors contributing to projects’ success in the A/E/C industry is effective communication. One shortcoming of current project websites is that the published information may be static and does not enable professionals to take advantage of the wide range of functionality available through the Internet. This has generally led to an overflow of information that may not be useful to all project participants. This paper proposes a new model called the “smart document” that enables higher level of communication and collaborations among all parties. Other developments have helped create a common platform that significantly enhances the performance of processes such as bidding and procurement.
