How do buildings get built ?
• Ability to influence construction cost.
• What the client wanted: a human
perspective on construction.
• Consider a door….
• Traditional drawings
• Potential problem areas
• Are construction companies conservative ?

Conservative – resistant to change?
Construction professionals?
Contractors?
Sub-contractors?
You?
• Fragmentation, Diversity, Instability
• Lacking Process Flow and Controls
Strategies for IT Adoption in the Building Industry © 2002 Prof. C.M. Eastman & Dr. R. Sacks
The construction industry conservative or dynamic ?
• demand instability
– lack of retained earnings,
• industrial fragmentation
– lack of concentration of capital,
• building codes
– lack of uniformity,
– complexity of change process.

Major barriers to innovation in
homebuilding (Hendrickson):
How do buildings get built ?
• Ability to influence construction cost.
– Reduced as project progresses.
• What the client wanted.
– Different players have different perspectives
• Consider a door….
– Production of buildings involves design, detailing,
fabrication, procurement, installation, etc. , and relies
on multiple representations of each part, in drawings
and textual documents.
