| Summary: | The construction industry in Australia covers a very large number o€ organisations from small suppliers and contractors to major consultants and government authorities. These are spread over a large geographical area and the works which they undertake range from very small to billions of dollars. There is a wide variation in technical sophistication within the industry. A 1992 survey of the use of electronic exchange of data between sections of the industry showed considerable interest, limited understanding, and little attempt at implementation. The current economic downturn and the long term return on the first costs involved, limits enthusiasm. Difficulties with its adoption and steps to overcome these are proposed with a timetable to the year 2OOO. This will be achieved only with government commitment, a well defined industry plan, and dose ties with the international EDFACT body of the United Nations. |
