Construction Industry in Europe
One of the most geographically dispersed sectors with markedregional differences.
Highly project oriented. Any ICT used within a project must bedeployable and profitable to all / several partners.
Each construction project is a one-of-a-kindprototype.
Highly regulated. Regulations & standards are more rigorous inconstruction than in most other sectors of economy, with theinvolvement of several levels of governments (local, provincial,national).
Relatively low entry-level for new companies
Very labour intensive, with high mobility of the workforce andgrowing skills needs as construction technology becomes moresophisticated. The duration of contracts is often linked to the lengthof the site construction phase.
Business relationships are temporary & often short-term,bringing together partners who may never work together again.

Wide use and adoption of office automation tools.
ICT tend to be application centric, dedicated to specializedengineering functions.
Limited knowledge sharing: project best practices andknow-how reside in the mind of individuals, and areavailable, at best, in the form of documents stored /archived on company intranets.
Access to project and company information is enabled viaLocal and Wide area networks as well as the Internet.
Information is usually conveyed using documents, whichpromote the creation and sharing of human-interpretableinformation.

Data exchange between different applications andcompanies is available at file level based mainly onproprietary formats at low semantic level.
Business process is driven by lowest cost. There is agrowing awareness of customer perceived value, which isnot yet supported by prevailing business models.
The support for teamwork between distributed experts inparticipating companies is, at best, limited to the use of
web-enabled document management systems(projectweb sites).
Construction products and components provide littleadded-value.

Strgy level TrendsValues~ Expectedimpacts
Values:Shift towards intangible values like customer & society perceived value andenvironmental sustainability beyond the tangible economic values like cost, quality andtime.
Businessprocesses~ Processsupport
Knowledge re-use: Enhanced use of past experience and best practice.
Performance driven: Systematic compliance of technical solutions to whole liferequirements.
Collaboration: Distributed virtual teams combine best competences
Applications~ User support
Functionality: Applications really targeting and supporting the end-user in the workcontext.
Intelligence:Integration of Processes & Information in Objects with behaviour.
Generic tools: Robust sector-independent (generic) solutions.
Infrastructure
~ Ambientaccess
Information sharing: All building info available, over the whole life cycle, accessible
via the most appropriate device, anywhere, anytime in the latest version from one logicalsource.
Web: The Internet will be the information infrastructure backbone for all communication.
Embedded ICT: Intelligent products, buildings and infrastructures. Chips everywhere.
Technologies& standards~ Enablers
Model based: smarter software, less manual interpretation and re-entry.
Open integration: Rapidly integrated ICT solutions built up from multi-vendorcomponents.
Adaptive systems:Self-learning" from their own use and user behaviour.

The vision. Not fullyachievable in theforeseeable future.
Explore opportunities andRTD needs for potentialsolutions.
Research and prototypingis required to find theoptimum way forward.
Development of clearlydefinable and directly
usable results.
Adopt, demonstrate &deploy existingtechnologies.
Solutions are alreadycommercially available andused by industry leaders.
Alternative paths (roads
towards different parts ofthe vision. All roads willneed to be traversed toaddress the full vision). Different routes tend
to merge when thetechnologies mature.
