Effective project management using web-based technology

Being a multibillion-dollar a year industry, construction has become a very promising business all over the world. Due to the fact that effective communication is always a challenge in this continuously growing and competitive business, professional involvement in information systems has become a virtual necessity in today's construction industry. This paper describes the implementation of the world wide web (WWW) technology as a complementary communication tool that would enhance not only the delivery and exchange of information among different parties involved in a construction project, but also the exchange of knowledge and lessons learned from one project to another project. Also, the paper includes areas of improvements to the communication process as a result of incorporating a web-based information delivery site. The most significant improvements are information delivery time and accuracy.
