There is widespread recognition that the construction industry must embrace new and better ways of working if it is to remain competitive and meet the needs of its ever-demanding clients. Project delivery in construction is highly dependent on the effectiveness of the team to execute the project, and this, in turn, depends on how well the team works collaboratively and how effective its communications infrastructure is. In an industry characterised by challenging requirements - such as the geographical distribution of project sites, high numbers of project participants and contractors, and significant heterogeneity of project teams - the need to facilitate widespread collaboration between members and across all project stages becomes a key success factor and a fundamental element of sustainable, competitive advantage.
